The city didn’t hold a media availability to answer questions and gave no reasoning for why the announcement was made 10 days after implementation of the service changes.

Shoppers lined up outside the Best Buy in South Edmonton Common, but not for the usual reasons. Provincial rules require shops to limit capacity to 15 per cent of fire code capacity.
