Want to go for a walk?

Argyll is pleased to offer a Walking Club who meet on the last Wednesday of each month in front of the hall. All ages, abilities and even strollers are welcome. Please leave pets at home. Walks may vary but will often include the ravine. Walks will normally last about an hour.

The next walk will be on Wednesday, October 30 at 6:30 PM.

There's no cost or registration required, just bring yourself and friends and join the group.

Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch

Two long time residents of Argyll have signed up to be Neighbourhood Watch coordinators for the community. They "need" to recruit some 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

Be on the lookout for a door-to-door "event" where our new EMW representatives will ask the people in Argyll about getting signage in the neighbourhood (we need 25 or more signatures for that application) so the City can hang those around our neighbourhood. . At the same time, you'll be asked if you want to have a door sticker where you confirm you'll look out for your neighbours and such.

You can contact our ENW Reps directly through e-mail: ENW.ARGYLL.REP@gmail.com

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.

The Jammers

The Jammers are taking a summer break and will return in September

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.
