As our disposable income erodes, community leagues will become even more important in Edmonton, providing families with recreation, events and places to go. This is Part Four of Postmedia's How Canada Wins series.
Edmonton community leagues are vital for combating isolation and providing recreation, events, and gathering spaces, particularly as disposable income declines. Examples include Cameron Heights, which built a new community hall after five years of effort, and Dovercourt, which is revitalizing its old hall by renting space to a daycare. The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues facilitates business rentals to serve neighbourhood needs. Community leagues also organize various events and activities to foster connection.
