When you think of Glen Allan - the people, spaces and history of the place we call home what comes to mind? It could be an image and/or a slogan. The winning design will be printed on a special edition T-shirt for neighbours to purchase. All designs must be submitted by August 30 to  gilmorepark@live.com We will be kicking off the creative process by hosting a virtual game night on Thursday, July 29th @ 7:00.

On June 16 from 7:00-7:45pm a Youth Liaison with  Edmonton's Neighbourhood Empowerment Team (NET)  will share some concepts about Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). They will discuss how youth can be involved in creating inclusive and welcoming communities. This addresses the causes of issues and reduces the fear of crime and social disorder.
