Let’s Finish the New Ritchie Hall

The new Ritchie Hall is more than a building. It will be a gathering place for arts, recreation, celebrations, learning, and connection for generations to come. While construction funding is largely secured, community support is still needed to finish and furnish the spaces that will bring the hall to life.

Leave Your Legacy

Whether you sponsor a solar panel, support a program room, enhance accessibility, or help equip the kitchen, your contribution will help create a welcoming and sustainable home for community life in Ritchie.

Charitable receipts are available for individuals, families, and businesses from $250 to $25,000+. We have teamed up with Garneau Community League because they don’t have a hall. They will have access to the new hall for their league events and they will provide a grant to Ritchie League to finish the spaces. This also means that donations go to Garneau for people looking for a charitable receipt.

Support the Community Kitchen

With 50/50 raffle and concerts, like the Aug 26 Martin Kerr concert , help create a kitchen space that will support:

• Catering or concessions for community events

• Food workshops and classes

• Canning and preserving sessions

• Food security initiatives

The kitchen was identified by residents as one of the most important features of the new hall—a place where food brings people together and knowledge is shared across generations. The Kitchen area is not a commercial kitchen but instead a place for catering staging, workshops for canning and baking, and wheelchair accessible. 

Energize Ritchie – Solar Panel Sponsorship

Sponsor a solar panel for $475 (OPENING Fall 2026)

Support Ritchie to become one of Edmonton's most sustainable community spaces with a solar-powered, carbon-zero building. Sponsors can dedicate a panel in honour of a loved one, family, or business and become part of the hall's renewable energy legacy.

The solar generation will reduce operating costs and provide climate resiliency.

Make it truly inclusive - accessible for all abilities

Help create a fully accessible space that will support:

• Wheelchair accessibility at all entries

Create Spaces for Arts & Recreation - Indoors and Out.

Support the flexible program spaces that will host:

• Dance and movement classes

• Drama and theatre programs 

• Adult fitness and wellness programs

• Court/Rink area that supports pickleball, basketball, ball hockey, and ice hockey/basketball/pickleball.

These adaptable rooms and multi-use outdoor space will make affordable community programming possible for residents of all ages while supporting local instructors, vendors, and other non-profit organizations.
