Greenfield Community League
Helping Good Neighbours make a Great Community
About GCL
Greenfield Community League acts on behalf of our members and offers programs and services to reflect the community's needs, interests, and diversity. GCL brings neighbours together to:
"A strong and effective community league is essential in order to retain its vitality. Local leagues in cooperation with the EFCL are powerful voices to speak on behalf of communities and their needs. This has been demonstrated many times since Greenfield was established." 
About Community LeaguesGreenfield Community League is part of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL); a volunteer movement that has helped shape our city for over 100 years.
The first community leagues began as a grass roots movement to lobby the city for neighbourhood improvements such as extension of roads and utilities. Over time, the leagues’ mandate has expanded to providing recreational programming and community facilities. EFCL is now the largest registered not-for-profit organization in North America. >>learn more about EFCL About GreenfieldThe community of Greenfield is in South West Edmonton between 111th and 119th Street, and 34th and 40th Avenue. It was built up in the 1960's and 70's and now has about 1,400 homes.
Our neighbourhood was named in honour of Herbert Greenfield, leader of the United Farmers Party and Premier of Alberta from 1921 to 1925. We are close to schools, shopping, Confederation Leisure Centre, the LRT at Southgate, Snow Valley ski hill, and the river valley trails. We are known for our good neighbours and community spirit. |

Its almost time for fun in the sun! Due to some damage to the the Greenfield water play feature, the opening of the spray park is delayed. The city is scheduling the repair work and we look forward to the park opening in the near future. Crime Prevention DID YOU KNOW smart phones can help push crime out of the neighbourhood? Power of connection is the idea behind how we can best serve safety interests in our community. Your Crime Prevention Committee is working on an initiative using mobile technology with an intelligent application called CRIME PUSH. We believe this is a great application to meet our community’s safety awareness interests - and it’s user friendly for all ages. The safety and security features of Crime Push include Distress Messaging, Push Back Notification, Check In and Crime Reporting. It’s ideal for personal safety and crime reporting, can be customized, and is downloadable FREE from the iTunes or Android marketplace. WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK over the summer and are looking for at least 25 volunteers of all ages to download and try it out. It’s available at crimepush.com. To find out if this suits our community interests we need your responses, which will determine our follow up in September. If enough people participate in field testing it and it proves successful, we’d like to customize a version for our community. PLEASE REGISTER to field test at greenfieldcrimeprevention@gmail.com so we can survey results. Thank you!
