My Edmonton : Blog The official blog for the My Edmonton App

About

My Edmonton is a website and iPhone application that gives you instant access to much of the information about the City of Edmonton.  You can:

  • Find out current news and local city events.  Add events directly into your iPhone's calendar and add custom alerts.

    The iPhone App's screen showing local construction routes

  • Find out information about your home, including:
    • Its assessed home value
    • Its year built
    • Your ward and city councilor, as well as information about contacting them.  Call them or email them direct from within the iPhone app!
    • Your garbage collection schedule.  Register for email or push notifications, and never miss a garbage day again!

Additionally, because the app knows your home's position, My Edmonton can help you:

  • Find your nearest school, community league, library,  park, or any of 10 other amenities
  • Find your nearest bus stops, as well as routes and schedules.
  • Identify road closures near your home.
  • Discover your Walkscore (TM) and Transit Score.  How "green" is where you live? (website only)

If you're looking at moving, or are new to Edmonton, the My Edmonton app is perfect for giving you the information you need about your new home.  Help our environment by choosing "green" homes with a high Walkscore and Transit Score.

  1. Hey Scott! I use MyEdmonton all the time for the push notices for garbage collection. They stopped qt the end of May – I assume you haven’t put the new schedule in yet. Please do!

    • Hi Jane! Sorry about that… the city, instead of updating the same datasource, created a new one, which I’ve since incorporated into the app. Your notifications should start this week.
