Gilmore Park Community League

Join Glen Allan neighbours on Saturday, September 12 at 7pm in Gilmore Park. Come showcase your talents, swap DVDs, acknowledge great neighbours and watch a movie under the stars! Follow our Facebook Group for a movie poll, coming soon. Since our Neighbour Day Picnic was canceled in June, Great Neighbours will be acknowledged on Sept. 12. Nominate a neighbour for any of the following categories: Neighbourhood Champion, Winter Warrior, Friendship Builder, Future Leader (youth), Gardening Guru, Safety Guardian, Community Backbone (local business). Each deserving nominee will receive a thoughtful gift from a local maker in Glen Allan & a recreation pass!

The Gilmore Park Community League is collecting donations to dedicate a bench for Denis Davey, a long-standing Glen Allan resident who fostered neighbourly connections in our community. After Denis’ wife passed he made a regular habit of sitting in front of his house to visit or wave to those passing by his home on Georgian Way. It is our hope that memory of Denis will act as a reminder about the importance of connecting with those who live around us.   If you would like to contribute towards a bench for Denis please complete this FORM and e-transfer your donation to gilmorepark@live.com before September 15, 2026. Contributions over $20 will receive a tax receipt from Strathcona County.

Today's Neighbour Day Picnic in Gilmore Park from 3-6pm will be postponed to September 12 due to rain! Great neighbour awards will be presented at the GPCL Annual Meeting on June 24 or at the Movie Night on September 12. Please continue to nominate your neighbours using this FORM . Each deserving nominee will receive a thoughtful gift from a local maker in Glen Allan & a recreation pass! Stay tuned for more details about the Movie Night event.

Time of day is flexible and it is approximately a 1 hour time commitment. In addition to the clean-up, we invite you to stop by Gilmore Park between 11:00 and 12:00 to enjoy a refreshment and take part in the neighbour-to-neighbour perennial exchange.  Plant exchange details:  Instead of bringing plants to a central location, this exchange works by connecting neighbours with one another.

This year one Glen Allan neighbour said, "I love living in a healthy and strong neighbourhood!" From short conversations on our sidewalks to large Halloween gatherings, this year brought meaningful connections and many memorable moments. Whether you participated in a neighbourhood event, volunteered your time, or showed kindness to a neighbour, you played an important role in creating a sense of community, thank you! In the new year the Gilmore Park Community League plans to focus on discovering the common interests of Glen Allan neighbours, and supporting groups and activities that residents initiate and care about.
