The Community of Lendrum Place

On July 1st, the Juventus Cycling Club and the Lendrum Community League host the Canada Day Criterium. It is an Alberta Bicycle Association sanctioned bike race, for Amateur Provincial Racers, that takes place on the streets of Lendrum surrounding Lendrum Park.

For our Lendrum community, it's a time to enjoy Canada Day with our neighbors and to experience the excitement of a real bike racing environment.
A BBQ and Beer Garden will take place, with funds raised going to support the Lendrum Community League
There will also be a bike race for all the neighbourhood kids.

Road Closures: The roads around the Lendrum Athletic Park and on the race route will be closed to all traffic at this time. If you need to cross the course during the day, a volunteer will let you know when it is safe and assist you.

There will be a Green Shack operating Monday to Friday near the community league building this summer beginning on July 4, 2022 until August 25, 2022.

Please see the attached poster with the dates and times the Green Shack will be running. We will be putting posters on the shack prior to the program beginning.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Rider Kahl at the City of Edmonton either via rider.kahl@edmonton.ca or by phone 780-996-9161

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.
