LYNNWOOD LINK
Happy Holidays Lynnwood,
It appears that winter is here in full force, everyone get bundled up and
remember to be a good neighbor and keep your sidewalks shoveled.
I would like to start by saying we had an amazing turnout for our Corn Roast
Party, much appreciation to all who volunteered their time to help and a thank you
to all the community members who came out making the event such a huge success.
I would also like to acknowledge some of our local businesses who donated prizes
for the events. A great big Lynnwood Community thank you to Second Cup 149
street café, Lorco Management and Designs, Go Klondike Cycle and Sports,
Esthetics & Hair Design, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Luscious Salon as well as our
MLA Steve Young and our MP Laurie Hawn. Your donations helped make our day
extra special for the community.
I am proud to announce we have two new members to our Lynnwood
community executive. First we have, Jessie Ross, our new Hall Coordinator and
Kris Peckitt our new Vice President. Welcome both of you to our team we are elated
to have you both.
We have two great events upcoming over the holiday season. First on
December 13 we have our Christmas sleigh ride through Lynnwood and we have
our annual New Year’s Eve celebration party. The sleigh ride is free to residents of
Lynnwood (and friends). I do ask that in this time of need that you bring a small
donation for the food bank so we can support this great cause. The New Years Eve
Party will have tickets being sold in advance as well as at the door for $7 per person
or $20 per family. I look forward to seeing you all at these fun community building
events.
Please Note we have filled the vacant spots on our Community League
Executive but we are always looking for help with events so please consider
getting involved in your community. You can email me directly at
[email protected] if you have any questions about how you can
contribute to making our community the best in Edmonton.

#101, 15503 – 87 avenue
Located in Whitehall Square
They do the same thing every time in order to gain
entry. They will pull door handles on vehicles parked
either on the front street or in the back driveway. They
will not normally break the glass or punch the lock to
gain entry into the vehicle because this attracts too
much attention. Once inside the vehicle they will steal
loose change and the garage door opener. They will
then open the overhead door to the garage and leave
the area for a short period of time. When they return, if
the door is still open, they assume that no residents
have been woken up. They then enter to take whatever
they desire.
Please make sure your car doors are locked and take
the garage opener inside the house with you. These are
crimes of opportunity and the opportunities are very
easy to minimize.
Also please report all suspicious activity in the area.
Let’s work together to keep our community safe.

“Consistently Exceeding
Expectations”
Concerned member of our
community have brought it to our
attention that there have been several
dog attacks in the Lynnwood area of
the past six months. The attacks have
all stemmed from the same pair of
dogs; a Rottweiler and Pitbull that
were living in the area. The two dogs
are considered dangerous and could
easily attack a child as well.
The animals have been reported to
Animal Control but to our
knowledge the dogs were removed
from the home prior to them
arriving. If you see these dogs please
be aware and we suggest keeping a
safe distance. They should be
immediately reported to Animal
Control or the Edmonton Police
Department.
To the dogs that have been attacked,
including our friend Dusty, we are
glad that you are all making full
recoveries. We look forward to
seeing you around the
neighbourhood!

Edmonton tells the story of Ukrainian immigrants and
their settlement history in Central Alberta from 1892 to
the 1930s. See costumed players recreate the lives of
pioneers, and visit more than 30 restored buildings that

Snow Shoveling Season is right around
the corner….
Snow that remains on sidewalks is hazardous for
everyone, but especially for people with limited
mobility who may be severely injured from a fall
on ice or snow. Un-cleared walkways also make it
difficult for people who deliver services in our
community - mail carriers, meter readers, delivery
drivers, firefighters, and paramedics. That is why
the Community Standards Bylaw requires that you
clean the public walks around your property down
to the pavement within 48 hours of a snowfall.
When you remove snow promptly after a snowfall,
you play an important role in keeping our city
moving safely in difficult weather. Be your
neighbourhood's urban hero and make it great,
within 48.

Honorable Mention
The Lynnwood 116 will be hosting their
next bottle drive on January 10th 2015.
For all houses that plan to leave out
bottles we ask that you put them out the
morning of the event as in the past there
have been individuals taking the bottles
when they are left out the night before.
We would like to make an honorable mention to Roy
and the Lynnwood 116 Scouts. They have graciously
offered to split the cost with the community league on
having our floors redone in the hall.
This is a vital task to ensuring that the integrity of our
building is maintained. To Roy and the Lynnwood
116th we thank you and ask that all members of our
community continue to support our Local scouts
This is a big event to our fundraising
campaign and we thank all who continue
to support our Scouts.
Need Boxes for Moving or the Holidays?
We are always looking for new scouts to
join our association
One of our kind neighbours has let us know that she
receives numerous boxes every month (over 60 per
month) for medical supplies that they need but they
have an abundance of boxes that they just can’t break
down and get rid of.
So free strong boxes for any and all who could use.
Please contact Margaret @ 780-489-8028.
