The Phase 1 parking ban came into effect December 28, 2025 at 7 a.m. The Phase 1 ban includes freeways, arterial roadways and business districts.

Be prepared for the next parking ban and sign up to receive parking ban notifications! The advance notice of a parking ban, through text and/or email, helps residents know when to move their vehicles. It also helps crews clear roads safely and more efficiently. Subscribers are even notified of when a ban has ended. Visit edmonton.ca/SafeTravels to sign up for notifications.

Woodcroft Community League would like to thank the following organizations and individuals who supported us this year:

TGP Wholesale Market (142 street) — has donated in the past year $1840. Did you know that when you shop at TGP they will donate a portion of sales to Woodcroft Community League. All you have to do is say, I would like my amount to go towards Woodcroft Community League.

The Crossroads Business Improvement Association —  $1500 for Park Cleanup. The Crossroads have provided us this grant for a few years.

Fillmore Construction Management Inc. & On Track Earthworx — helped us prepare our rink by leveling the sand. They donated their staff time and equipment for a good portion of the day.

Ashley Tichkowsky — has sponsored the Gingerbread houses last year and this year. Ashley is a community member who is a realtor.

Jordan Norman — who has assisted us a few times by loaning his equipment and time to our community garden and rink. Jordan is a community member who has his own playground installation company.

Councilor Erin Rutherford  — for a $500 donation to help support our community league.

Edmonton is the northernmost city in North America with a population over 1 million people. As a Winter City, we encourage you to embrace the season and the holidays by joining your neighbours in decorating your home. Homes that catch our committee's eye will receive a nomination yard sign - and there could even be prizes! Final selections will be made by December 21st. If you are interested in being part of the committee, please let Arlene know at Arlene.huhn@woodcroftcl.org

What’s better than Volleyball? Getting a tan while you play Volleyball!

Although you may not be on a tropical vacation, it doesn’t mean you can’t escape to a place filled with sunshine, sand, sports and good times. ESSC Co-ed Beach Volleyball Leagues offer various formats and skill divisions, so there's something for everyone ranging from the beach rookie to the seasoned veteran.

Woodcroft Community League hosts beach volleyball in partnership with the Edmonton Sport & Social Club. Spring volleyball will be starting soon with the deadline for registration April 2nd, 2025. If you are interested in starting a Woodcroft Team and organizing it, we can help you get that going by advertising on our social media. Please reach out to Arlene at arlene.huhn@woodcroftcl.org For more information, please check out the following for fees and much more information. www.edmontonsportsclub.com/leagues/beach-volleyball

Edmonton Police Service cannot address crimes or hotspots if they are not notified of the crimes.  Typically. when a crime occurs and is left unreported, the frequency and severity of the occurrences will increase if they are not dealt with.  This makes the importance of reporting crime and disorder, regardless of severity, absolutely vital for the EPS and your community.

​

Reporting a non-emergency incident can take as little as 15 minutes.  Reports can be made in a number of ways.

​

• Attending a community or divisional station

• Phone: 780-423-4567

• Mobile phone: #377 from an Edmonton mobile

• Online: https://www.edmontonpolice.ca/contacteps/reportacrime

• Through the EPS mobile app

​

If you have concerns regarding birds (i.e. Magpies) nesting in trees on city property, such as boulevards, call 311 and report your concerns.  The city will send out an arborist to inspect.
