YOUR TURN
RE: June 2025 issue
I thought the June issue did a great job
of touching on the issues that are at the
forefront in our city right now in interesting
ways, featuring people I haven’t heard of.
– Justin Archer, Partner, Berlin Communications
Last month, we hosted a family wedding
with 200 guests coming from Canada and
around the world. We wanted to give out-
of-town guests a taste of Edmonton, so we
curated gift bags with local items including
the June edition of Edify. It was the perfect
way to show off Edmonton to our guests
and advocate for all the wonderful things
going on in our city.

RE: “Skip the Starter Home” June Issue
Your editor’s note on buying a “starter
home” was a wonderful read and really
resonated with me. Like you, I enjoyed the
experience … UNTIL I didn’t!

(Ed Home & Style newsletter)
I wanted to say a huge thank you to Lauren
Kalinowski for the wonderful article featur-
ing our shop. My passion for sustainable
fashion practices, community and inclusivity
has never faded. I know our current political
and economic climate is causing so many to
struggle financially and emotionally. I don’t
typically say nice things about myself but
I’m so happy that I created a place that al-
lows every single person that comes in here
to feel welcomed, loved and cared for, and
to be able to afford clothes without causing
their wallets to scream.
–  Limor Webber, owner of Mod Uncorked
