Bylaw Enforcement Committee

Are you fed up with residents who continually violate the Community Standards Bylaw? Join our community league’s Bylaw Enforcement Committee. We will work together to ensure the city addresses nuisance properties or bylaw offenders. These properties devalue our neighbourhood. Please phone Irene @ 780-489-2994 if you are interested.

Future Closure of Sherwood School

In spring 2017, Edmonton Public School Board presented concepts, based on feedback we heard from all public meetings, responses to online surveys and from the working committee. The community showed a preference for Concept 2:

  • A new K-3 school on the Afton School site
  • A Grade 4-9 school on the Westlawn School site

The government announced funding for this project in March 2018. This will consolidate all students from Afton, Glendale, Sherwood and Westlawn schools into the two new schools when they open.

A public meeting was held at Westlawn School on May 28, 2018 to discuss the recommendation to close Afton, Glendale, Sherwood and Westlawn schools. See https://www.epsb.ca/schools/spaceforstudents/westlawn/.
