Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we highlighted the Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes on until Feb. 17 at the TELUS World of Science Edmonton. The exhibition features "more than 300 artifacts, including some of Marvel’s most iconic and sought-after pages, costumes, and props." We also shared the story of Hans Doef who started Blindman Brewing in Lacombe with help from ATB Financial. "Blindman is considered a veteran of Alberta's brewing industry—they were 20th on the scene. Today, there are 99 across the province."
