As you may well know, Edmonton was the first city nationally to adopt a community league system. Today we are well known internationally as a model for a community engagement system that has had a profoundly positive effect on the quality of life for our residents. Edmonton residents enjoy an unparalleled level of amenities, services, and programs locally because of the passionate efforts of community league volunteers.
Right now, we know that community leagues are struggling with increased regulation and complexity in every service they provide and they are challenged with an overburdened volunteer pool. This project is an attempt to give some very worthy recognition for 100 years of volunteer service and to promote and inspire future generations to stay engaged in community matters.
