Are you red of having to close your windows on a warm evening because of a bad smell in the air?

Then call the City at their 24 hour contact line and complain. The more complaints the city receives, the more likely they are to do

something about the problem. In fact, the city is tracking the number of complaint calls before they will act. If one or two people

complain, they will send someone out the next day to take a reading of the odor. Of course, by then it is too late and no odor will

be recorded. If several people complain, they will send someone out immediately to take a reading.

Call 311 any me

Your Complaints have been Heard!

issue! The commiee will meet a few mes over the next year to nd a soluon to the odor problem.

Working together to give kids the best start in life!

Do you have ideas about how communities in North East Ed- monton can support young children?

The Coalition wants to hear from you… Did you know that a child’s experiences, between the ages of 0 – 6, shapes actual brain growth? Children’s early

experiences have a lifelong impact on school, work, health, relationships and well -being.

The North East Edmonton Early Childhood Development Coalition (Coalition) is a group of community membersand service providers working together to improve early childhood development opportunities (0-6 years of age) in their neighborhood.

“Everyone has a stake in making sure that the children in our community have the best possible start in life,” says Amanda Gibson, the Chair of the Coalition. “It truly does take a community to raise a child.” Presentations and discussions are now being planned with community groups, associations, drop in groups, and

schools, etc. to discuss how children living in North East Edmonton are developing and ways to support young childrenand their families. The conversations will be informed by what is coming out of the Early Childhood Development Map-

ping Initiative. (www.ecmap.ca)

Coalition members want to connect with people who live and/or work in North East Edmonton through presenta-tions, by attending events or to simply chatting about the importance of positive early experiences for children.

Through these community conversations, the Coalition will collect answers to questions like…

What are some ideas to make North East Edmonton a community that offers lots of positive experi-ences for young children and their families?

What can we do to make our communities more child-friendly?

How can we create safe, supportive and interesting places for children to grow up in and have thekinds of opportunities that will help them to succeed?

What will we do with this information?

We’ll act on what we know! The results from the ECMap project and community conversations will show strengths andgaps in programming, facilities and services. Discussions over the next few months will inform ideas for action plans.

Also, communities can access funding, in terms of limited grants, to implement action plans that will build communitycapacity and knowledge to promote early childhood development.

For more information, contact the Community Coordinator today.

Disappoinng Turn-Out for Annual General Meeng

Bannerman Community League held their

Annual General Meeng on Tuesday, April

17, 2012 in the Community League Hall. This

meeng was open to all residents of Banner-

man and was a chance for anyone and every-

one to get involved. Sadly, there was only

one new person who showed up to the

meeng. The new person was not interest-

ed in holding any of the vacant commiee

posions nor any of the execuve posions,

so the execuve and commiee posions

remain with the few dedicated individuals

whose name you have been seeing on the

back page of the newsleer for quite some

me now.

This is very disappoinng because this

means that the interests of the community

may not be as well represented as they

could be.

Do your children play sports? Do they

skate or play hockey at the outdoor rink in

the winter? Did you know that the commu-

nity hall is being used 5 days a week by a

local dance group oering dance classes?

Do you parcipate in the Tots group? Have

you ever gone swimming for free at ACT or

Londonderry Pool with your community

league membership? Did you enjoy free

corn at the corn roast last fall? Did you

shop for Christmas Cras at the cra sale

for the last two years? What about the

Trunk Sale?

These are all the programs and acvies

that your community league supports with

the money raised by volunteers who work

casinos. These are all the programs and

acvies your community league board

manages. Without the commitment of

these people, none of these things would

be happening.

How much me does it take to be on the

board? As lile as 2 hours a month or as

much as you can handle.

Are there things you would like to see

oered? Are there things that you would

like changed? Do you want to know your

neighbours? Do you want to feel safe and

connected to your neighbourhood?

Come to the next board meeng and see

what you can do to make Bannerman the

Best Neighbourhood in Edmonton to live in.

Next Meeng: May 22, 2012
