Capital City Clean Up is the City of Edmonton’s year-round litter and graffiti management program, to reduce litter on streets, parks and public places.
- A clean city is a better place to live, work, and visit.
- A clean city attracts shoppers, visitors and new business.
- A clean city is healthier for everyone.
Keeping Edmonton free of litter and graffiti is a shared responsibility.
Everyone from school children and neighbours, to local businesses and community groups can help create a more liveable city. Interested? Consider registering or taking part in one or more of the many great CCCU programs listed on our website.

Wrestling with relationships, communication, how to be a good dad?
Dealing with a separation, divorce, job loss… feel empty and alone?
Doesn’t matter what you try, it just doesn’t work out?
Men who have survived these challenges have helped develop programs that answer questions and provide direction!
Intended to help participants understand and better participate in their relationships, the Men’s Support services present opportunities to explore what was and understand how things came to be. Given these opportunities and pointers to deal with the current situations the participants encourage and support each other to plan & initiate change and develop a better personal foundation.
Many men choose a new direction for themselves and take the first steps to become the person they truly want to be.
"You don't need to go it alone!"

The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues and the Edmonton Minor Hockey Association jointly created a new system to facilitate the sales of Community League memberships during hockey registration. The following motion was voted on and accepted at EFCL's April 19, 2010 Annual General Meeting by a majority of Community League Voting Members:
“That the Edmonton Minor Hockey Association be granted the right to sell $25 “corporate rate” family Community League Memberships to all of its minor hockey players, during hockey registrations.”
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PARENTS:
If you know that you have to register for hockey, do not buy your community league membership from your league. Be prepared to pay the mandatory hockey registration $25 corporate community fee for your membership online and at in-person hockey registration. Community League Membership Cards will not be accepted as proof of payment. So leave your community league card at home.
After registration, if you need your membership card for other sports or programs or recreation discounts and haven’t received it from a league, contact:
For more information, please check the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues website at www.efcl.org
A note from your Gold Bar membership director: This is a new process and I’m sure there will be some confusion. If you require a membership card before I receive the list from EFCL, please call me and I will make sure you receive a card. Also, be sure to let the door to door canvassers know that you have already paid for a card through hockey. If you have not received your card please ask your canvasser. All canvassers will be informed of the changes for hockey memberships. Any questions please feel free to contact me at 780.465-7294.

PLANNING AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTIAL INFILL
The proposed Residential Infill Guidelines establish new “rules” for small scale, medium scale, large scale, and large site infill / redevelopment in Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods. More specifically, the Residential Infill Guidelines address the preferred location for various types of infill, as well as building design, site design and landscaping, amenities, and parking requirements.
LARGE SITE REZONING PROCESS:
A Consultation Process for Rezoning Large Residential Infill Sites in Mature Neighbourhoods
This report proposes a new approach to the planning, rezoning, and redevelopment of large sites in Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods. The new process is intended to: facilitate more visionary planning for large sites, involve the community at an earlier stage, involve the Planning and Development Department more actively in managing the public participation process, provide for a more open exchange of information, and provide more follow up after approval of the development.
