District Spotlights
Every month of 2021, we’re showcasing one of Edmonton’s 12 Districts and elements of the Community Leagues’ 100 year legacy thriving within them
The series is being produced in partnership with 
District A | District B | District C | District D | District E | District F | District G | District H | District I | District J | District K | District L
District I
This central district is driven by advocates who fight for Edmonton to rethink its infrastructure and amenities in core neighbourhoods.
Residents have pushed to see city infrastructure rebuilt and reimagined in their neighbourhoods at a smaller scale, and work in the district could be a model that is used in other neighbourhoods facing the same pressures and circumstances. Rather than watch community recreation slip away to the edges of the city, District I is pushing for it to be rebuilt next door.
