NEW SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
Jasper Place Health and Wellness has received government funding to build another housing project in this area. They currently own and operate a 30 unit homeless housing project called Canora Place at 10141-153 Street. They intend to construct 3 buildings with 10 to 12 units in each in Glenwood at 16022, 16026, and 16030-100th Avenue (beside the Better Business Bureau) for hard to house supportive housing. These sites will still have to be rezoned and approved by council. For further information, please contact Murray Soroka at 780-908-6309 or email: murrays@jpwc.ca

VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUIRED FOR 2019 COMMUNITY CASINO
The community league’s only fundraiser which has not been held since 2015 will take place during the 3rd quarter of 2019 at the West Edmonton Palace Casino. We will be informed of the exact dates next year. The number of people to volunteer will determine the length and number of shifts required. Volunteers will receive vouchers for the hours worked. Please phone Irene @ 780-489-2994 for details.
It is critical that the community league has a casino. The funds raised help the league pay for the high utility costs, maintenance of the hall, skating rink, basketball and tennis courts. Without a community league, residents would have no amenities other than open park space. It is the league that fundraises to build a playground, skating rink, basketball and tennis courts, etc. When our playground is deemed too old in the next 10 years by the city, it will be up to the community league to fundraise to build a new playground. We have been told that it now takes up to 1 million dollars to build a decent playground.
