Volunteer Recognition
We would like to express our gratitude to all the residents who signed up as a volunteer partner with the city Parks Department. Thank you, Christine, David, Irene, Paul, Dawne and Robin for weeding and picking up litter on our multi-use trail and playground. It was amazing the number of garbage bags that were filled after each session and the hours you worked in May through to the end of October.
We encourage residents to help our volunteers and don't litter. When you use our park or multi-use trail, please bring a garbage bag and collect any garbage that you see.
Leisure Access Program Update
On Tuesday, July 4, 2017, The City of Edmonton will launch a new component to the Leisure Access Program, making recreation even more accessible. Based on the "sliding scale" approach, applicants with income as much as 25 percent above the low income cut-o?? may be eligible for a new subsidized monthly pass. This pass is priced at $20/month for an individual and $70/month for a family. Additionally, income thresholds for the pre-existing Leisure Access Program were increased by 10 percent to welcome more low income Edmontonians to the free annual pass program for access to participating recreation and attraction facilities.
