Board Roles & Descriptions

2026 Board Bylaws

Following our Special General Meeting on February 22, 2026, the interim Board has updated the KEP Community League bylaws. These new bylaws replace the League’s bylaws from 1990, which no longer met the needs of our growing and evolving community.

We’re trying something new this year—and we’d love for you to be part of it 💚 We're participating in the Capital City Clean up. 

Join us as we come together to clean up the litter around our parks and green spaces, so we can all enjoy them even more this summer. It’s a simple way to connect, give back, and take pride in our community.

KEP Fun Facts

King Edward Park is a strong and vibrant community with a rich history of community engagement:

• Official opening day of the big hall was May 23, 1964. Programs consisted of games for children and each child was given 6 tickets for 25 cents for hot dogs, drinks and dixie cups.

• Official opening of the KEP Tennis Courts was May 7, 1977. The late Sid Gray plowed a piece of land at the corner of 80 Ave and 81 Street to be used as a base for cinder tennis courts. The lines for the first tennis court was white ribbon fastened down with huge staples and membership was 25 cents per year. The league was congratulated for being one of the more progressive in the city for having such a fine facility through its completion.
