AGM Update: New community events and neighbours position

With our AGM fast-approaching on Monday, November 9, we’re going to highlight a few of the board positions open for election for anyone who may be interested in volunteering. We’re looking at creating a new position on the board to look after discussions with large events and ensure neighbour feedback.
Strathcona is a busy neighbourhood, with many large events and festivals like Ice on Whyte, the Fringe, the Edmonton Pride Festival and an always important business district. There’s also the potential that End of Steel Park, just west of our community hall, is expanded which will mean more programming and the potential for more large events in the heart of our community. We’d like to see some volunteers take on the planning discussions with such events on a more regular basis than we have done so in the last few years, and also make sure feedback and input from neighbours is part of the conversation.
For the most part these events run smoothly and can have very little impact on neighbours, but it does take some work to make sure the event is a good fit for Strathcona. This could be a great board position for someone who likes to know what’s going on in the neighbourhood and likes to make sure everyone is heard on issues important to them.
