Community Garden

Preparing for another season

The community garden looked beautiful last year. A dedicated group spent a good portion of their Saturdays working their plot. For those still thinking about it, contact the garden group to be involved this year or to answer questions. They can be reached by e-mail at: garden.group@argyllcl.ab.ca.

The garden is a project which needs volunteers to sustain it, maintain it, guard it, and benefit from the harvest. We deeply appreciate all the input residents have provided and the generous donations the project received. Even if you can't manage a plot this year, they will be at it again this spring. The bottle drive continues to generate funds for operating the garden and we encourage anyone who can contribute to contact the group and arrange for pickup.

Everyone is welcome to come by and see how things are growing but please do not park in the Church lot. Leave your vehicle on the street and stroll over for a peek. Those who have a plot also need to be mindful of accessing the parking lot. Loading and unloading is permitted but working in the garden requires us to avoid occupying spaces in the Church lot.

If you spot anything suspicious regarding the garden you are welcome to report it to us. Call Dave Trautman at 780.966.9310 and he will check it out. We hope the security of the garden is helped by the many houses which have a clear view of it and the many people who walk the creekside or commute on bikes through the area.

Exercise for Graceful Aging

A new program for ages 40-80 years.

Argyll is pleased to be able to offer a new program offering exercise for graceful aging. Each Wednesday from 5:30 – 6:45 PM the program will offer basic exercises designed to mobilize joints, stretch your fascial matrix, strengthen bones, and calm your nervous system. The programme begins on Wednesday, April 5th.
Cost $100 for 8-weeks.
Drop-ins are welcome, if space allows. $15 per visit,

To register or with questions, call/text Renee at 780.903.1911

The program is led by Renée Giammarioli who is a Physiotherapist. She will endeavor to stretch every major muscle group in every single class. She hopes to incorporate animals walks (on all fours like an animal) as well as jump or hop training. These are geared toward maintaining bone density for people in later life. There will be an autumn session as well.

Development Information Page

The Jammers

All musicians (at any level of skill) are invited to spend a little time together playing songs and keeping time each week. They meet on Thursdays from Noon until 3:00 PM in the main hall of the Argyll Community Centre. They welcome any instrument you are willing to jam with. Electric and Acoustic instruments are both welcome. Singing on key is optional :-)

If you want to sit-in on what they get up to each week, contact Ken by phone and get the details for their next jam. You can come and sing, play along or just relax and enjoy the music. Call Ken 780.466.8127 for more information. There is a $2.00 fee for use of the hall.

Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch

Two long time residents of Argyll have signed up to be Neighbourhood Watch coordinators for the community. They need neighbours to be part of our neighbourhood "walk your block" program. This means more people keeping an eye out around our neighbourhood for odd things, graffiti and/or break ins etc. There is a group who walk on Wednesday evenings (see above) as well as another groups who walk Tuesday mornings but there is a need for more regular people to help out. We encourage folks to look into joining this program. There are plenty of residents who walk their dogs and, of course, many who are just out for a nice stroll in the neighbourhood.  enwatch.ca/walk-your-block

You can contact our ENW Reps directly through e-mail: ENW.ARGYLL.REP@gmail.com for a door sticker showing your participation.

Our neighbourhood is a popular transit area between summer festivals and is a prime location for itinerant visitors to explore garages and take things from yards. Although it is fairly safe for most of the year there is a dramatic reduction in crime and vandalism when more residents are seen walking our streets. The sooner a problem is identified the sooner it can be corrected or investigated.

Dog Walking in the Park and Ravine

New signs and instructions in the Off Leash areas

It is that time again when dog owners like to bring their four-legged kids to the park. While most of us are dog fans, not every one is. This is why the City of Edmonton has regulations concerning dogs in our parks. There are two bylaws which every dog owner needs to be aware of. Both the Animal and Licensing Bylaw and the Parkland Bylaw apply to dog owners. The following is a quote from bylaw 2202:

Unless otherwise permitted by this bylaw no person shall allow any animal under their control, or for which they are responsible, to be on Parkland. A person may have a dog on parkland so long as the Dog is:

1. leashed and on an Improved Trail or an Unimproved Trail;
2. leashed and on a Boulevard;
3. leashed and in an area governed by signage permitting dogs; or
4. in an Off Leash Area; but only if the dog is, at all times, kept at least 10 meters from any developed playground or picnic site

Please be respectful for all the other children and families who use the parks, while we love our pets and they are a part of our families, not everyone likes dogs, some even have allergies.
