What is a Community League? | Is a
volunteer, not-for-profit organization formed to meet the needs|interests of
residents within a defined geographic area. Community Leagues are recognized by
the City of Edmonton as the primary speaking body for the community. Leagues
are part of a network of 159 (and counting!) neighbourhood-based organizations
operating under the umbrella of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues
since 1921. Each Community League is a separate organization, incorporated as a
not-for-profit entity under the Societies Act of Alberta. Each is operated by a
volunteer board of directors elected by its members who live in the community.
Every league has its own bylaws, policies|procedures, and offers programs
in the community to the best of the abilities of the league’s volunteers.
