Phase 1 construction of the Allard Cavanagh Community Garden began September 26. Two 40-by-12-foot in-ground beds were excavated and filled with garden and planting mix. Five 4-by-6-foot raised beds were also built using corrugated galvanized steel and filled with fertile planting mix.
A dozen local volunteers from Cavanagh and Allard, including Jon Morgan, worked throughout the day to bring the garden together.
One final delivery of wood mulch is still expected to complete the borders around the in-ground and raised beds, as required by the City of Edmonton.
Our plan is to offer plots for Allard Cavanagh Community League members to begin growing their own gardens in Spring 2027! We are in the process of establishing an application process to enter the lottery for one of the five raised or one of the ten- 8 foot by 12 foot in ground garden beds. Stay tuned to our webpage and our monthly e-newsletter for more details.
Special thanks to Leduc Plumbing and Heating, as well as Garlough Farms for providing the skid steer and dump trailer to make this Phase 1 construction possible.

Autumn is falling upon us—but the fun doesn't stop!
Our rink is the ultimate outdoor hangout this fall season. Bring the whole family and make the most of the cooler weather with space for everyone to play, relax, and connect.
Shoot hoops on our basketball nets that are at various heights, perfect for all ages and skill levels. Lace up and enjoy roller hockey on our full-size nets, or turn the rink into your own space for any game or activity you can dream up.
Need a break? Kick back at our picnic tables, connect with neighbours, and enjoy watching the kids play in a safe, lively community space. With garbage bins conveniently placed, it’s easy to keep everything clean while you enjoy the day.
This is more than a rink—it’s your community outdoor hub for cooler weather fun.

Why Stay a Member? Members keep our League strong, sustainable, and responsive. More members = more funding, more volunteer capacity, more voices, and more community spirit. Our league exists because all of us recognize there is a need for community spaces like the Allard Rink as well as events and programs that bring neighbours together and support recreation.
Let’s Grow our League! If you like what you see, tell your friends and neighbours. The League that increases its membership numbers by the most in the month of September wins $1000 from our friends at Lloyd Sadd and the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues.
Starting this year, the membership year runs from August 1 to July 31. Unfortunately, the majority of our members do not have auto-renew selected and risk missing out on being part of ACL for 2026/2027. Please find the details and renew your membership online.
