Discover the Commonwealth Walkway on your Quest for the Golden Key

Published

Watch this short video to learn more about the Edmonton Commonwealth Walkway from Committee c0-chairs Dave Mowat and Carolyn Patton.

The Edmonton Commonwealth Walkway, a 10 kilometre section of River Valley trail running from the 100 Street Funicular to Government House Park, opens tomorrow. Edmontonians can discover the trail through this week’s Quest for the Golden Key Contest and could win their own “key to the city”, a family pass to Edmonton attractions and recreation centres.

The Game

In 1912, the Governor General of Canada opened Alberta’s nearly completed Legislature building using a ceremonial golden key with a clover handle. The key was made of gold that had been found in the North Saskatchewan River valley and, after the Legislature was opened, the key disappeared into that same valley. It hasn’t been seen since, but you can help find it!
The Golden Key is in a secret place, waiting to be found by contestants—but it’s not as easy as just finding the key. The winning player will have to free the key by opening a seven-digit combination lock. Players will follow seven daily clues and locate “key cards” along the Commonwealth Walkway to collect the seven combination numbers, then follow the final clue on day eight to find the key and try out the winning combination.
Key cards may be anywhere along, or near, the Edmonton Commonwealth Walkway. They will not be in plain view but players will not need to dig, climb, open or move anything to find them. Key cards will not be on private property or anywhere the public is not permitted, and will not be in dangerous locations.
The game runs Sept. 7 through 14. Follow @YEGWalkway on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for daily clues and extra hints. You can download your game sheet at edmonton.ca/YEGwalkway. Share your progress using the hashtag #YEGwalkway. Happy questing!

The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.

In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.

The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.

The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.

“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”

Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.

This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.

The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.

The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
