Community League Swim

Starting January 7, 2022, Horizon Community League members are able to swim on Fridays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Meadows Community Recreation Centre, 2704 17 St. NW. Bring valid proof of membership for access to complimentary swimming as an HCL member.

Please note that children under age of eight years of age need to be within an arm's reach of a responsible adult. There is a 3:1 ratio for children under the age of eight. This means that each adult may only bring in up to three children under the age of eight & will need to remain within an arm's reach at all times.

To get a community league membership, sign up here.

Join our Horizon Community League Neighborhood-Wide Virtual Book Club.

The Horizon Community League, working with Abundant Community Edmonton, wants to explore:
How do we connect our neighborhoods as a community?
How can we build connections between neighbors?

We are reading The Abundant Community – Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods by John McKnight and Peter Block (Oakland, CA : Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2010).

A neighborhood can

• raise a child
• provide security
• sustain our health
• secure our income
• and care for the vulnerable

This book gives voice to an ideal of a beloved community. It reminds us of our power to create a hope-filled life. It assures us that when we join together with our neighbors we are the architects of the future we want to live.

Join the Virtual Book Club and contribute to this important conversation.

Within the community copies of the book were provided to board members and distributed within the Little Libraries. Requests were made to keep circulating the book after each person read it.

Books are also available from Edmonton Public Library and can be purchased through bookstores.
