University of Alberta Go Centre (B. Anderson)
|
|
|
|
Councillor B. Anderson, on
behalf of City Council, welcomed Ms. A. Hall whose expertise in Sport and
Leisure with a special interest in women's studies has made her an
international leader in this area. Throughout her extensive career she
had made over 100 presentations at international, national, provincial and
local conferences and has written numerous articles and books; most recently
completed a book called The Grads are Playing Tonight, a story of the Edmonton
commercial graduate basketball club. The impact the Edmonton grads had
on the entertainment and quality of life index in the city of Edmonton at that
time was substantial and she is an amazing ambassador for our community.
Accompanying her is Mr. D. Dorward, a collector, distributor and promoter of
grad basketball history and 11 years ago talked about the possibility of
a basketball facility. Mr. D. Dorward and his wife contributed to the
funding of the printing of this book that allowed the inclusion of pictures.

Castledowns Recreation Society International Committee
(K. Krushell)
|
|
|
|
Councillor K. Krushell, on
behalf of City Council, welcomed members of the Castledowns Recreation
Society which is a very special group of people in Northwest Edmonton which
recently received a YMCA Edmonton Peace medal award. This annual award
recognizes peacemakers who inspire and affect the lives of others through
generous acts of kindness. It honors youth and adults from all
walks of life who commit their time to advancing peace in their communities
and abroad. For nearly 30 years the Castledowns Recreation Society has
devoted significant time and effort in helping communities grow and
flourish. The Society received this award for a truly exceptional
project. When the group upgraded their neighbourhood playground equipment in
2009 they looked for an opportunity to donate the old equipment.
Minister
T. Lakaszuk and 20 volunteers took the used equipment to the Philippines to a
small 42 family village known as GK Edmonton and spent the next ten days
transforming an empty field into a children's playground.

|
|
|
Edmonton Salutes (D. Loken)
|
|
|
|
Councillor D. Loken, on
behalf of City Council, honoured the veterans who greet the troops as they return
from tours of duty. For the past seven years Edmonton based soldiers
have been deployed to Afghanistan for 6 to 12 months and the time away from
home was not only dangerous because of the constant threat of war but has
involved extended periods of time away from family and friends.
Military protocol does not permit family members to greet the soldiers at the
airport which meant that initially these soldiers return home after a 15 to
20 hour flight to an empty airport and that's when Edmonton Salutes came in
and learned of this initiative and was developed to welcome home the troops
at the Edmonton International Airport.

Planning Academy (S. Mandel)
|

Academy. This is the 6th year of the Academy which is a series of courses
on the planning processes and is facilitated by experienced city staff.
The city developed the Planning Academy to help Edmontonians’ better
understand and participate in the planning process and 1400 people have taken
the course since its inception in 2006.
