The TCL Needs Your Help
Date Posted: March 30, 2023
With multiple Board positions vacant, we will be reducing the scope of activities that the Community League commits to each year. The Terwillegar Community League is a volunteer-run organization. We host multiple events throughout the year with the help of City of Edmonton funding, memberships, and fundraising. Every event needs volunteers in order to run and it has become increasingly challenging to find people willing to help out, both on the Board and at the event-level. In addition to individual events, the Community League also works to build and advance community assets such as playgrounds and rinks, again, entirely on a volunteer basis.
The following events that were planned for 2023 will be cancelled as the Board does not have the capacity to support them:
- Summer Carnival
- Holiday Craft Sale
In addition to these events being cancelled, we will review our ability to host the Canada Day event based on the uptake in adult volunteers to help us support this event. The same applies to the fall "I’m Too Big for It Sale", although the spring sale in April will move ahead. The Halloween Fireworks are also under review by the Board due to limited volunteers in 2022. If you see us requesting support for individual events, please consider supporting us so that we don’t have to cancel more events!
We need your help to move forward and enhance our community! Please click for more information, and then reach out to tclpresident@terwillegar.org to see how you can help us going forward.
