Never Feed Coyotes
Coyotes thrive without human food. But when fed by people, they are prone to disease and parasites, become too comfortable around people and may become aggressive. To Report a Problem, Call 311. |
|
|
|
|
311 is Edmonton’s non-emergency phone line for City government information and services. It provides residents, businesses and visitors with ease of access through a central point of contact for their city needs. 311 does not replace 911. Anyone requiring fire, ambulance, police emergency assistance must call 911 for emergency assistance. Do not hesitate to call 311 to report a problem. The more reporting we collectively do as a neighbourhood, the more attention it will receive from the city.

November is a month to remember our neighbours, those around us who could use a helping hand.This neighbourly November our community league would like to invite you to be a part of our Donation Drop. Drop-off food, new or used clothing and toys at the Hall on Saturday, November 19th between 1-4pm. Thank you kindly!Donations will be delivered to the following organizations to provide for our neighbours in need: 1. Royal Alexandra Emergency Department patients & Inner City Non-Profit Agencies: The dropping temperatures in our city hurt those in our community who don’t have warm shelter to call home. We are collecting items to give to the social workers at Edmonton’s Inner city hospital, the Royal Alexandra, which will be given to patients in need or passed on to other Inner City agencies. 2. Food Bank: Through the support of our community we provide food for over 20,000 people each month. By giving to Edmonton's Food Bank you are not only feeding people...you are giving hope and creating a kinder community. (most needed items poster attached) 3. Santas Anonymous: The mission of 630 CHED Santas Anonymous is simple: to see every child receive a new toy at Christmas. Relying on thousands of volunteers and donors, 630 CHED Santas Anonymous now collects, sorts, packages, and delivers toys to over 20,000 children every year. Please consider that volunteers need to place all gifts for one family into one delivery bag when purchasing toys. We provide toys for children from infants to 12 years of age only. We are excited to spread our Lansdowne neighbourly spirit this November!

Natalie moved to Lansdowne when she was 4 years old and attended Lansdowne School. Although born with cerebral palsy, she spent her childhood playing able-bodied ringette, soccer and judo until she discovered Para-athletics in autumn 2019. During her first track meet, Natalie set two new Canadian indoor records for her classification (T38) then COVID forced her to train by herself without facilities and eyes-on coaching. |
