Safety starts with getting to know your neighbours

Safety starts with getting to know your neighbours

Crime has been on people’s mind in Ritchie lately. Our Facebook feed and town hall meeting with Councillor Mike Nickel and Police Chief Dale McFee in late September showed just how frustrated residents and police are with how things stand. One way to reclaim our sense of security is by knowing who to call and when if we spot something that’s not right.

Board meetings resume Thursday

After a summer without them, the league’s volunteer board will be meeting again Sept. 5. Anyone in the community is welcome to attend, but only board members may vote on the issues under discussion. Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month, starting at 7 p.m. in Ritchie Hall.

Do you have something you want the board to discuss?

Remember Ritchie School at June 22 Bbq

Ritchie School still stands at 9735 75 Ave., but not for long. Stantec, which is building the replacement school next door, invites you to a farewell BBQ June 22, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring any photos or Ritchie School and memorabilia you would like to showcase. You’ll also be able to request materials like bricks be set aside for you when the time comes to bring the venerable structures down.



League members are Tool Library members too

Borrowing privileges are free with your Ritchie Community League membership

Ritchie Community League members are now members of the Edmonton Tool Library and can borrow from among its 1,150 items FREE. At its June 6 meeting, the league joined 42 others in sponsoring the Library, which is housed at the Bellevue Community Hall (7308 112 Ave.). It’s open twice a week for pick ups and drop offs, but its collection is searchable online, anytime.
