It is heartening to see some work projects that are able to continue to keep our economy moving forward.  The building of the Community League Plaza at this point is operational, is following strict health safety protocols and maintains a very small team of workers on-site at any given time.

As the beautiful wood beams go up, and the roof begins to take shape, volunteers on the project committee are still working hard in the background to showcase amazing facts to tell the story of 100 years of community development in our city. Did you know that in 1980 a formal city policy was passed where Edmonton city council officially recognizes the EFCL and it’s member leagues as partners of local government? To read more cool facts see our history page and if you would like to add your touch to the project, we are still seeking old photos to fill some gaps in our photo collection.

We are looking for a few specific timeline photos for the displays or the celebratory publication materials.  If you have a photo, high resolution, that you can identify, source and have the permission to use that illustrates the following events and time periods, please email plaza@efcl.org.
