Do you live on an Awesome Block?

Are your neighbours kind, helpful and friendly? Do you take care of each other in tough times? Do you celebrate together and make sure everyone is included?

 The City of Edmonton is looking for the most Awesome Blocks in the city!

Share a story about what your block does that makes it special, an event they hold that is helping neighbours connect or something inspirational that has happened where you live. You can also share photos and videos! 

The deadline for submitting nominations is 12pm (noon) MST, on Sunday August 22, 2021.

Want to Host a Block Party or Play Street?

The focus of Block Parties is on building connections and relationships between neighbours living in the same street. 

The idea of a Play Street is to bring neighbours together for celebration or play. They allow neighbours to play together in residential streets closed off to vehicle traffic. 

The City supports both Block Parties and Play Street events through planning, operational and permitting support. The purpose of the Block Party and Play Street program is to connect neighbours living in the same street (i.e. not intended for larger events that invite the general public to attend).

Be sure to submit your applications at least 14 days before your event.

Neighbourhood Cleanup

Spring is here, with its wonderful weather, new blooms, and green grass, and the annual blowing tumbleweeds of litter.

Oak Hills Community League has 5 Capital City Cleanup kits to hand out, which include:

While out on our walks, it would be easy to bring along a picker and tidy up the paths, walkways, and streets as we go! We envision this evolving over the season into a more regular group, or club of community beautification champions.
