Michaels Park is a residential neighbourhood in the Millbourne community of Mill Woods in south east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The neighbourhood is named for John "Mike" Michaels, best known for being Edmonton's preeminent news stand operator - "Mike's News Stand" - which he opened in 1912 upon immigrating to Edmonton from New York. In 1913 he founded the Edmonton Newsboys' Band in an effort to keep his newsboys, often school drop-outs, out of trouble. The band gained international recognition, performing throughout the United States, Canada, and England. [8] John Michaels was also "involved in community service for 50 years and was best known for his promotion of aviation and the north country." [9]
