In 2010, the City of Edmonton contracted Stantec Engineering to do a complete assessment of all league halls in the city. Their recommendations for the Parkallen hall include over 30 items to be completed before 2020. We are proceeding with essential repairs, upgrades and
maintenance (see below), and want your input in determining priorities for the next phase. We are also completing required changes to the Parkallen Community Garden and ask for your input on additions that will promote a diverse ecosystem. More information and a feedback poll will be available on our website blog, shared via email and facebook, and in print in the April newsletter. If you have not signed up for email notification and newsletters, please contact newsletter@parkallen.ca. We do not share our email list, and use it only for community related notifications and newsletter distribution.
