The Community of Lendrum Place

The ice rink is open! The big rink is now open thanks to the hard work of the Lendrum Rink Crew.

There will be no sign-up this year as restrictions have been relaxed on the number of people able to use outdoor spaces. There will be limited access to the skate shack due to the requirement for leagues to participate in the restriction exemption program - when it is open, you will be asked to show proof of vaccination if you are over 12, wear a mask, and physically distance from people not in your household.

Some general rink rules

1. Be courteous of your fellow skaters.
2. If skaters and hockey players are both on the ice, use half the rink for each group.
3. If you wish to rent the whole rink for a party or hockey game please email icerink@lendrum.org. Rentals can have access to the skate shake provided the renter follows the rules set out by the public health orders.
4. Regular rink hours are 10am-9:30pm on weekends/holidays/winter break and 5-9pm on weekdays.

We're looking for your feedback!

There is a new page on the Lendrum website with information about the Lendrum Community Hall Renewal project.

Please have a look and send through your feedback in the Google Form on the page

We have recently re-started our indoor gatherings, after meeting outdoors in various parks whenever the weather permitted during the past year and a half.

All Lendrum residents are welcome to join us. We will be following all the required Covid protocols, including proof of double vaccination, masking and maintaining 2m. distance between participants.

We have been collecting $2.00 (or more), which helps to offset the costs of using the hall. We will bring our own lunches for now, but look forward to getting back to sharing a potluck in future.

We are a diverse group of women and men who enjoy a variety of craft activities including: crochet, knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, painting, needlework, wood carving, card-making, mending and sketching. We generally meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of every month with the exception of holidays. We meet for 5 hours (11:00 - 4:00pm)

Edmonton Vital Signs® is an annual check-up conducted by the Edmonton Community Foundation, in partnership with Edmonton Social Planning Council, to measure how the community is doing. The City of Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Services is fortunate to be part of the Vital Signs Advisory Team.

The annual report focuses on specific topics related to community needs and is a valuable resource for ourselves and community groups. This year’s report focuses on Making Ends Meet, providing insight into the neighbourhoods we support and the impacts on citizens.

Here are just some of the facts the report uncovers:

• Prior to the pandemic, 12.9% of Edmontonians lived in poverty. Single parents and single adults made up the majority. Working age single adults are especially financially insecure.
• 81.2% of Edmontonians making minimum wage are 20 years of age or older.
• A single person working full time at minimum wage is living below the low-income threshold.
• Women, Indigenous People, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ2S + individuals, and visible minorities are among the most likely to work in low-paying, precarious jobs.
• 63% of Senior women in Canada are living in poverty.

You can access the full report here.
