Things to do in Edmonton this week: Cariwest, Marigold roof gigs and Quietly Screaming
Cariwest : Vibrating with colour, musical floats and those astronomically gorgeous costumes, the dazzling annual Cariwest parade is one of Edmonton's most joyful couple hours of the entire year! The electric cavalcade runs noon to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, starting at 108 Street and 99 Avenue, running along Jasper, cutting north to Churchill Square on 109 Street. The multi-ethnic pride fest itself is much bigger than this, of course, with the Churchill Square carnival encompassing Caribbean Village, Friday through Sunday.

With a backdrop of music and big-feathered performance on its central stage, there's plenty to eat and drink at this fabulous fête, starting with the 11 a.m. Friday soft opening. Seriously not to be missed! Details : Fri./Sat. 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Sun. on Churchill Square, no charge Quietly Screaming : Saturday is your last chance to check out Guelph, Ont., artist Chanel Desroches' large-scale works over at the newish PRG on 124 Street. Exuberant and compelling, 'as a queer woman negotiating the pressures of public space and personal history,' reads her bio, 'she uses abstraction as a tool of deflection and camouflage. 'Her marks, scribbles, cuts and smudges channel anxiety, sarcasm and resistance.' That all really comes across, each of her canvasses mixing oil painting, oil stick drawing, graphite and other media in a delightful collision of colour and style that exudes vibrancy and conflicting personality traits held together with an absolute style that circles back to the show's paradoxical title. Details : 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesdays – Saturdays at Peter Robertson Gallery (10332 124 St.), no charge Marigold Rooftop concerts : Summoning the vibe of the long-lost Latitude 53 open-air patio with a western, Little House on the Prairie Vibe, Marigold Rooftop — MR for short, in honour of recently-passed-away orange tabby Mr. Cheeto — is such a Whyte Avenue sweet spot. With a series of summer gigs before the snow crushes our souls, Saturday night it's the duo bill of grungy folksinger Jordan Norman and master pedal steel player Booker Diduck. Shows keep being announced, including next Friday's in the midst of the Fringe with Carter Felker and the gentle music of Sam the Living. Keep checking Instagram for more bookings at @double_lunch and @marigoldrooftop , and swing by any time after 7 p.m. on industry Mondays and Thursdays to Saturdays for hotdogs, or insanely good food from Bibo downstairs. Details : 7 p.m. Saturday at Marigold Rooftop (10302 82 Ave.), pay what you can Throne of Blood (1957) : Probably my top Kurosawa film thanks to its intense tone and jarring mystical components, this relentless adaptation of Macbeth takes place in Japan's bloody Sengoku Warring States era. With a cold and creepy Noh theatre feel including a couple impossible sets and a creepy metaphorical human spider busy weaving fate, this rather heavy metal morality play grabs you from its misty get-go. Newly restored in 4K, you don't want to miss this, or the also-cleaned up 12:15 p.m. Sunday screening of Kurosawa's 1963 'modern-day' thriller High and Low . Details : 6:45 p.m. Friday at Metro Cinema (8712 109 St.), $14 King of the Hill : After a 15-year hiatus working propane in Saudi Arabia, Hank and Peggy Hill return to an Arlen, Texas, transformed by bike lanes, annoying e-scooters and a pulled-out forest of telephone poles, where conspiracy lunatic Dale Gribble was briefly mayor during the pandemic as an anti-masker until he declared the election results moot. 'That boy ain't right' Bobby is all grown up and facing appropriation flak for his Japanese-German-Texan fusion restaurant, modern-day cultural clashing whirling around the fact the now retired and bored senior Hills are flawed but very decent people trying to make themselves useful in a world gone mad chasing app five-star ratings. More fun than Ari Aster's terrific but very intense Eddington, I tell you what — so check it out! Details : now streaming on Disney+ fgriwkowsky@ @ Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

Progress finally made on Wexford planned primary care centre after major delays
Deputy Malcolm Byrne raised the planned new Primary Care Centre in Gorey directly with the Taoiseach's office recently. As a result, Deputy Byrne was informed on 16 May, that the HSE Dublin South & East Health Region have submitted the Schedule of Accommodation to HSE Estates. The Schedule of Accommodation is due to go to HSE Estates' Property Review Group (PRG) in the coming days and it is anticipated that Invitation to Tender for Gorey PCC will be posted on -E-Tenders at the earliest opportunity once PRG approval is obtained. Once tender offers have been received, all offers will be reviewed, and a contract will be awarded in line with public procurement regulations. Upon completion of the tender process, the location/site/building of the Primary Care Centre can be confirmed. It is currently not possible to provide an estimated timeline for the construction of this project in advance of the contract being awarded and regulatory approvals (including planning approval). The tender process for this project was first undertaken almost a decade ago and a Preferred Provider had been selected. Unfortunately, the selected Preferred Provider encountered difficulties regarding the economic viability of the proposed project resulting in the collapse of this process. To facilitate the re-advertisement of this Primary Care Centre, a full review of the current and future health service needs for Gorey area was undertaken with relevant stakeholders. A scope was also identified based on the updated health service requirements with a view to finalising a Schedule of Accommodation for Gorey Primary Care Centre.

PRG sells remaining 26.21% stake in Esther Postpartum Care for RM1
PRG Holdings Bhd has entered into a share sale agreement to dispose of its remaining 26.21% equity interest in Esther Postpartum Care Sdn Bhd (EPC) for a nominal cash consideration of RM1. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, PRG said the symbolic price was determined on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis, given EPC's continued losses and negative net assets. 'The consideration for the sale shares at RM1.00 will be paid in cash, and was determined on willing buyer-willing seller basis, based on EPC's current financial position,' the company said. 'The risk and cost of holding the investment outweigh any potential future benefit. RM1.00 simply represents a symbolic transfer of ownership where the purchaser accepts future risks of the company.' According to PRG, EPC recorded revenue of RM4.44 million and a net loss of RM701,313 for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024 (FY2024). Its shareholders' deficit stood at RM3.93 million. The proposed disposal is also justified by the fact that the purchaser is already the largest shareholder of EPC and will assume full financial responsibility, PRG added. The group originally acquired the 26.21% stake in EPC in October 2018 for RM3.75 million, including RM1.02 million worth of shares acquired via a call option. However, the entire investment has been fully impaired in prior years, resulting in a nominal gain of RM1 from the disposal. PRG clarified that no liabilities, contingent liabilities or guarantees will be assumed by the group in connection with the disposal. — TMR
