Friday edition of the Urban Brief is here, and this one is a little extra special.

Today we launch Local Love Fridays, our brand new weekly spotlight dedicated entirely to the local businesses that make this community what it is.

This week we are featuring Clean Pipes RV, an Edmonton business that is genuinely one of a kind in this country. Murray's story started around a campfire and grew into something nobody else in Canada was doing.

We also cover a young Edmonton student who just won $100,000 for something most of us walk right past, what the Bank of Canada said Thursday that every household should hear.

And Hawrelak Park is back with a free celebration this Saturday.

It is a big one. Come read it. Subscribe or read the full issue at https://bit.ly/4lxiGFS
