Green Shack is Back

July 2 - August 21, 2025

The fantastic Program Leaders of the City of Edmonton are back to run Green Shack programming at the playground behind Ritchie Community Hall. 

Monday to Friday the Green Shack program will be running games, sports, crafts, music, drama, and special events for children to participate in for FREE.

Every week, a complete list of activities and special events will be posted on the Green Shack's side, so be sure to check frequently for upcoming programming.

Leaders will be easily recognizable in their blue shirts and will be assisted by volunteer leaders in training.

All Green Shack leaders:

• Have completed a security clearance process, are trained in first aid, and are certified specialists in fun! 

• Ensure participants play safely (Parents are responsible for their children at all times and must be available in the event of an emergency).

Programming is still available on rainy/snowy days, but may be cancelled during severe weather.

West Ritchie Garden Meetup

Last Wednesday of the month @ 7 pm

Season Series: April 2025 - September 2025

Location: 7900 A 101 St NW Edmonton, AB T6E 0B9

Would you like to join our garden committee to help run the garden? 

The monthly meeting will occur in the garden on the last Wednesday of the month. It is a casual, BYOB meet-up where we talk upgrades, priorities, issues, grants, and stories.

All RCL volunteers must be RCL members/associate members. If you’re up for it, volunteers will help make garden clean-up, grant applications, or Instagram management easier. 

What we need:

A small monthly commitment (1-5 hours) during the gardening season

What you get out of it:

• Your voice will shape the future of the garden, including how grants are spent, how maintenance is assigned, and more

• You will be guaranteed one garden plot for your effort

• If you need a letter or reference for your time, one will be provided

The best part? The garden crew is a lot of fun, and the people are nice. We would love to have you join.

Email Hanna at garden@ritchie-league.com to sign up, or feel free to show up at the picnic tables around 7.

We will cancel or reschedule if the weather is particularly unpleasant.
