This one called for its own issue.
Canada is playing Switzerland today in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B finale and the stakes could not be higher. The Canadians are sitting first in their group after a historic 6-0 demolition of Qatar and they are one result away from advancing to the Round of 32 on home soil. That is a moment worth gathering for.
So we put together this special edition of The Urban Brief just for you. No regular news today, just one simple thing: a list of the best spots around Edmonton and surrounding communities where you can pull up a seat, order a pint and cheer Canada on together.
Kick-off is 1:00 PM MDT today, Wednesday June 24. Get there early.
Let's go Canada. 🍁
