What is Sector Planning?
Inglewood Elementary School and Westmount Junior High School are among
20 schools under review in the Central Sector. The likely outcome of this process
is that certain schools will be targeted for closure with the aim of amalgamating
students into larger schools in the sector.
from http://sectorreview.bangthetable.com: “Sector Planning is about managing
student space. The Edmonton Public School Board, EPSB is looking at all schools
in the district to address areas of low enrolment, low class size, and surplus school
space.
Sectors are geographic areas of the city, and the three sectors under review are
Central, South Central and West 1. Possible outcomes of a sector review include
status quo, consolidation or reconfiguration of schools in a sector, or closure.”
The consulting firm hired by EPSB has already collected community
questionnaires in April, and according to their website, they will be holding public
community forums in May and June. These were not yet scheduled as of our press
time. Dates that concern Inglewood School and Westmount School will be posted
at www.inglewoodcl.com as soon as they are available.
Please contact Lil @ 780-481-6519 or [email protected] if you are interested
in joining forces with Inglewood Community League to help advocate for our
neighbourhood through this important process.

If your apples fell to the ground before they were ripe, or were covered in bruises
while still on the tree, you probably have an apple maggot infestation. Now is the
time to act!
To learn how to control for this pest, come to a workshop: Tuesday, May 25,
from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at Inglewood Hall 12515 – 116 Ave. Hear the experiences
of other local apple growers, learn how to make apple maggot traps, and take
home traps to help reduce apple white fly in your own trees.
Offered in conjunction with Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton, (OFRE), a fruit
sharing cooperative. Cost: $2 for Community League Members and $5 for nonmembers. Please RSVP to Lynn @ 780-433-2217 or [email protected].

Did you know that the WeCan Food
Basket Society has a pick-up located
right in Inglewood? This not-forprofit organization works to provide
affordable food security to community
members throughout the Edmonton
area.
The Food Basket program is open to
everyone because we all have a right to
proper nutrition at an affordable price.
To purchase food through the society,
people pay a yearly membership of
$5, then place orders at the beginning
of the month for the food basket
that best suits their needs. A fresh
meat order costs $12, a fresh produce
order for $8 and a complete meat
and produce order for $20. At the
grocery stores, the same package would
cost $25 to more than $30. After
collecting the orders from the depot
coordinators, the society works with its
wholesale supplier to create a balanced
and nutritious food basket. The orders
are ready to be picked up at depots
around the city in the third week of
the month.
For more information, check out the
website www.wecanfood.com,
