Upcoming in October 2026

Welcome to our monthly post about upcoming events from Strathcona Community League.

New events can be added at any time, so please keep checking our social media or https://strathconacommunity.ca/news/ and https://strathconacommunity.ca/events/ for all the details.

Have Your Say! We want to hear from you! 

As our neighbourhood continues to evolve, your input ensures upcoming SCCL projects, events, programs, and spaces reflect the voices of the people who live here.

Progress Made Since 2020

In 2020, we surveyed members to help shape our community’s future. Thanks to your feedback and the dedication of our incredible volunteers, we’ve turned those ideas into real action! 

Over the past few years, we opened brand-new Tennis & Pickleball Courts (August 2025), launched the Pilot Skate Park (June 2026), and remain right on track for the completion of our Hall Renovation in Fall 2026. 

On top of these facility improvements, our neighbourhood has stayed vibrant with community gatherings, including 6 Mini Folk Festivals, 38 Pub Nights, 9 Trivia Nights, 6 WinterFests, and much more. 

You can view the full 2020 report at strathconacommunity.ca/about-league/.

What’s the 2026 Survey About?

The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and covers key neighbourhood topics:

• Community priorities and future initiatives
• Past participation and ideas for future programming
• Feedback on SCCL amenities and visioning for our green spaces
• Community interest in a neighbourhood off-leash dog park
• Communication preferences and general demographic questions

How to Participate

Whether you’re a long-time resident or brand new to Strathcona, home owner or renter, we would love to hear from you by the September 30, 2026 deadline:
