Community League Bike Month Challenge

We've got some exciting news for this year's Community League Bike Month Challenge. Our pals at EFCL are taking over administration of the challenge! We've collaborated on a swanky new toolkit, and are looking to recruit even more leagues this year. The challenge starts June 1.

Are you a cyclist who wants to help Ritchie defend our title? Find - and join - the Ritchie United club on Strava.

You can also email your weekly totals to ritchie-united@ritchie-league.com each Sundays.

Hiring! Podcast host

Hiring! Podcast host

Ritchie Community League is looking for an Edmonton-based podcast host to work with our Centenary Celebration Planning Sub-Committee. The successful candidate will host a 12-episode podcast focusing on the league's 100-year history, showcasing stories and people throughout Ritchie's past. Top candidates for this position will have a background in interviewing, top-notch presentation skills, and an interest in local history.

Facing the climate emergency at home in Ritchie: Workshop Feb. 23 @ 1 p.m.

Join Irene and John McDermott, Ritchie residents and city-certified climate change ambassadors (not to mention professional facilitators), as they help us figure out what the climate emergency means in our homes and in our neighbourhood. It’s not a lecture, but a conversation among participants. Sunday, Feb. 23 starting at 1 p.m. at Ritchie Hall.

Their first Climate Conversation, in November, was attended by 20 residents. February’s workshop is one of four planned for the coming year.

These quarterly workshops are among several Keep Ritchie Green events planned for 2020. They are part of a “citizen series” which provides a venue for local residents to share their expertise with neighbours on an environmental topic of their choice. Suggestions welcome!

Keep Ritchie Green: Home and Yard Series, where speakers are recruited to provide practical advice for homeowners, returns March 16 and on the third Monday of the month thereafter. Watch Ritchie’s website, Facebook, and e-newsletters for upcoming topics and times.
