🟢 In early July, 2025, Cynthia (your Yarniversity host) met up with Pamela Young at the High Level Diner in Old Strathcona, Edmonton. This cute restaurant is only a few blocks away from the former home of Geneva Misener, the first female professor at the University of Alberta. Dr. Misener was a trailblazer in many ways. Join us for a coffee and a short walk around this beautiful neighbourhood.
