Thank You Glenora!

There have been many calls to this community for additional support over the last few months & we are deeply grateful to everyone who showed up when we needed it most.

From the incredible Casino Volunteers who generously donated their time, to the dedicated Winter Carnival participants who worked tirelessly to set up and take down, and the generous donors who made this event possible—your kindness and commitment to our community have been truly inspiring. It is heartwarming to witness neighbours coming together, lending a hand, and taking part in what makes this community so special.

As we look ahead, we know that many of our future initiatives still need support, and we hope this spirit of giving and teamwork will continue. Many hands make light work, and together, we can accomplish so much more.

We invite you to read on and consider joining us at our next board meeting on March 12 at 7pm to learn about upcoming projects and ways to get involved. Your passion and participation are what make this community thrive—thank you for being part of it!

If there is anything else you think should be included in our newsletters, please let us know at communications@glenoracl.com

We've all heard the saying, "It takes a village." We know the benefits of a strong community—but you can't rely on a village you don’t take part in.

Our Community League exists to activate the community through events, programming, and sharing neighbourhood news. But for our community to truly thrive, we need more than just the same handful of volunteers making everything happen. We need more people in the village.

Please show up, get involved, and help make our neighbourhood a place where everyone thrives.

The Glenora Community League Board has positions that urgently need filling. Please consider volunteering and getting involved so we can continue to provide more services to our community.

• we need a small and mighty group pf people to help plan and run events at the Glenora Community League. Our community events will not continue without a small group taking over this role so please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested (and maybe tap a another neighbour on the shoulder to join you!)

Over the last 12 months the Glenora Community League redevelopment committee has shifted their focus from the outdoor space to our community league building.

In the last 12 months we obtained a planning grant from the City of Edmonton and have applied those funds to engaging the services of Andrea Hestvik to help us come up with a concept for redevelopment. Andrea is an architect as well as the Facilities Director at Crestwood community league.

Based on principles gathered from the community, survey and the input gathered we have build a 5-phase plan overview for the building.

We have a new online membership portal, which will help us communicate, manage and coordinate your annual GCL membership.

Using this tool, you will no longer have to go searching your email for your membership number, as you will be able to log into your account and access your membership details anytime.

It will also allow us to communicate directly with active members only with information like court codes, and allow you to set up membership renewal automatically or manually through the portal.

An email was sent in the Spring with instructions for claiming your current membership and setting up your account. As the new membership year has already started since September, everyone will need to sign up for a new membership. You can register with auto-renew on this platform so your membership always stays current, or you can sign in to your account and renew manually.

If you do not have a current membership, you can buy one here and set up your membership account.

If you have any questions about this new tool or have questions or concerns about your membership, please email Laura at communications@glenoracl.com
