We want your opinion

The NGCL hall is in need of infrastructure renovations so the NGCL Executive Committee has appointed a subcommittee to plan the medium to long terms projects that are required, their priorities, and their associated costs to complete these renovations.
The first part of the renovation planning is determining how we can support current and future programming at the hall. This is where you come in, we are looking to engage the community to determine what programs and services are used and valued by the community currently, what programs and services that North Glenora residents are looking to be provided in the future and then using that information to both plan programming and hall renovations.

Snow Angels Program

Edmonton is a winter city that sees significant snowfall. The snow and ice that accumulates on sidewalks during the winter season is hazardous for everyone.

People with limited mobility, seniors, children, and parents with strollers (and even those with no limitations at all) may be severely injured from a fall on ice or snow. Uncleared walkways can also make it difficult for those who deliver services in our city—mail carriers, meter readers, delivery drivers and emergency personnel—to do their jobs safely. In fact, each year, hospitals and doctors’ offices are filled with people young and old who have slipped and fallen on unmaintained sidewalks.

For these reasons, Community Standards Bylaw 14600 requires homeowners and tenants in a home to clear snow and ice from every walk and driveway on or beside their property, as well as from any other properties they own, including derelict and vacant buildings. Owners/tenants should use sand or ice-melting products to start the clearing process if they can’t shovel immediately after a snowfall. The fine for failing to clear sidewalks within 48 hours of the last snowfall is $100.

This winter, all citizens in North Glenora who shovel on a regular basis, as well as those who help neighbors in need, will receive a City of Edmonton “Snow Angels” lawn sign from the community league. Snow Angels will also be eligible for a prize pack from Boston Pizza and 1 of 10 pairs of Oil King Tickets.

Become a Snow Angel by:

Shovelling your walk within 48 hours of a snowfall
Shovelling a neighbor's walk
Making a plan with your neighbours to share the shovelling

Let’s work together to keep our sidewalks clear! Proper snow management by the City and its citizens makes Edmonton a more liveable and loveable winter city.

Snow Angels lawn signs can be picked up at the North Glenora Hall on Mondays and Thursdays between 09:00-11:00am. You can also request a sign by sending an email, containing your first and last name, and your house address to ngcl.1vp@gmail.com and a volunteer will help ensure you receive your sign.
