Downtown Edmonton is about to get a little more orange prior to Thursday’s home game.

Over the lunch hour, Sir Winston Churchill Square will be the site of a community rally organized by the city to allow Oilers fans a chance to wear orange in solidarity, showing support for the team ahead of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the San Jose Sharks. The teams are now tied in the series, with two wins each.
