Where to find Sand

Last spring the City's Road Maintenance Department decided they could no longer support the hundreds of local Sand Box locations at Community Leagues. This decision change the arrangement. Sand is still available for free. But no longer at all league locations. Hazeldean is one of the "regional" locations the City lists as having sidewalk sand. Unfortunately the frequency of filling the box is hampered by the available staff and sand at some times of the winter. As evident from sidewalks across Argyll and elsewhere the now familiar January Rain has made it difficult to keep sidewalks clear. Ours is a walk-able neighbourhood.

Sand can be found on Gateway Boulevard North of 63 Avenue at the Southwest District Yard where sanding trucks are getting their loads. Outside the yard fence are two large green boxes, clearly labeled as public sand. These are available to anyone at any time of day or night, even with the yard closed on weekends. To help you find the correct location a PDF with a map and images is available to download [645 KB] showing the entrance and relative location across Gateway Blvd. from Home Depot, Mark's, and Staples. Below is a map showing the location.

There is a second entrance to the yard further north but it is not where the bins are. If you overshoot you can come around again by cutting through to Calgary Trail and coming back up Gateway.

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.
