SOCIAL EVENTS COORDINATOR & EVENT HOSTS NEEDED
The Lendrum Community League is looking for a new Social Events Coordinator. We have
redesigned the position so that the coordinator will plan only a few events a year & will primarily
assist Event Hosts with the planning of their events.
An Event Host is a community member who would like to host a community wide event. Examples
of events taken over by Evet Host so far are the campout, chili cookoff, New Year’s party and the
turkey trot.
Is there a Lendrum event that you love? Consider organizing it or if you have a great idea for a new
community event that you could plan then come talk at a community league meeting or send an
email to Gary at president@lendrum.org
Part of what makes Lendrum such a vibrant place to live is the community wide events that
take place here. Without them, there are fewer opportunities to meet our more distant neighbours
and that makes our lives a little less rich.

BLOCK PARTIES :: CITY OF EDMONTON
A neighbourhood block party is an opportunity for people to meet and get to know each other. Edmonton City Council has waived the $100 fee for Block Parties.
A permit (free) is still required from the City when a block party is held on a location where there is traffic (streets, back alleys, or cul-de-sacs). The permit is required to block off the street.
Signatures from all your neighbours in the block party zone are required on the permit to show support for the event, whether or not they plan to attend.
The permit must be submitted at least 2 weeks before the event. The permit includes pick up and delivery of road barriers. Alcohol consumption is not permitted on city roads or public property.

CITY OF EDMONTON - RESIDENTIAL INFILL
To improve the accessibility of information about the many process changes and educational tools in progress to improve infill activities, the City of Edmonton in May of 2016 launched a new infill website at cityofedmontoninfill.ca
To address the varied views and opinions on the topic, the City focused their messaging on three groups: communities, builders, and homebuyers.
The City considers it to be "a powerful tool in communicating the place infill has in Edmonton’s future".
On the website you may also sign up for the Evolving Infill Newsletter to learn about the latest infill related news and initiatives.
