SPANN

SPANN (Stony Plain road and Area News Network) is our community newspaper serving the neighbourhoods of Glenora, Grovenor, Canora, West Jasper/Sherwood, Britannia-Youngstown, and Glenwood. It is published by the Stony Plain Road and Area Business Association with the support of the Jasper Place Revitalization Project and the City of Edmonton. It seeks to engage area stakeholders (residents, business owners, and agency representatives) with news and information about the area in a way that positively presents Stony Plain Road / Jasper Place as a location that is desirable to live, work, attend events, dine, and shop.

SPANN is a print and online local area marketing tool, helping promote and connect local economic developments with local community developments, leading to placemaking and a greater sense of connected communities across the area.
