The Future of King Edward Park

📣King Edward Park Community League Needs Your Help

Our community league is at a critical turning point. After operating with very few volunteers for several years, we must now decide the future of the League. To continue serving our neighbourhood, we need to elect a new board. Without one, the League may be dissolved—meaning the loss of our community halls, skating rink, tennis courts, and the programs that make this area such a vibrant place to live.

What’s Happening

We are holding a Special General Meeting to determine whether the League can continue operating. For the election to proceed, we must meet two requirements:

  • At least 15 voting members must attend the meeting

  • At least 8 board members must be elected

If these requirements are not met, the League will not be able to function.

KEP Traffic Safety Committee

King Edward Park’s Community League Traffic Safety Committee had its first meeting on January 29, 2025. Stakeholders came together to discuss and examine traffic safety issues surrounding Donnan School, Wildheart Children’s Centre, Al Mustafa Academy and Willowbrae Academy. Terms of reference were presented and adopted. Changes in traffic due to the LRT and construction, increase in traffic volume and speeding, vehicle congestion and safety were the main issues discussed.  The Committee is exploring best practices to mitigate the traffic safety concerns brought forward. Our City Neighbourhood Resource Coordinator and staff from Safe Mobility, Parks and Roads Services are supporting the committee’s efforts. Plans are to meet again in mid-May to continue exploring best practices to mitigate traffic safety concerns.
