FILM SCREENING: Changing Lanes at Metro Cinema

8712 109 ST NW
Wednesday Sept 22nd 7:00PM

When a beloved teacher is tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash in Brooklyn, a grassroots movement emerges to transform a notoriously dangerous four-lane boulevard into a safer, two-lane street with protected bike lanes.

With Edmontonians’ right to safe transportation at risk, this is an important time to learn from other cycling communities and join together with neighbours who believe in safe infrastructure.

Admission by donation to Bike Edmonton at the door.
All ages welcome.

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:

Help Us Spread the Word!

A strong response rate means better ideas, clearer direction, and a more unified voice for funding opportunities. You can help us reach every corner of the neighbourhood by:

• Sharing the survey link directly with your Strathcona neighbours, friends, and family.
• Posting the link in your local group chats or neighbourhood social media pages.
• Keeping an eye out for the print flyer landing being distributed to mailboxes early September and consider posting a copy on community bulletin boards.

If you have any questions, ideas, or feedback regarding this initiative, please reach out to us at safety@strathconacommunity.ca.

Thank you for participating and for continuing to make Strathcona a fantastic place to live, work, and play!

Another Survey!

Help shape the future of our Community Leagues! 

The City of Edmonton and EFCL are conducting a survey to understand which facilities, programs, and services matter most to League members. Whether you use the rink, attend local BBQs, or rent the hall, your feedback will guide decisions on the future. Complete the 10-minute survey between September 3 and September 20!
