I miss the many lilacs along the bike path. I used to pick a bouquet for my love. Nice to see them in yards, though.

Westcorp’s Phase 2 at Edgeway (along 51 Avenue) is taking shape. When complete, there will be a total of 365 new units across three buildings. The construction is phased across 1.5 to 2 years.
The commercial development along 122 Street has also started. Three buildings are nearing completion and opening this fall. Tentatively, tenants include fast food outlets, a liquor store, a dentist, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, and a daycare.
More info: www.avisonyoung.ca
Michener Park is also seeing new development — row housing and apartments up to 23m tall. More info: uapt.ca/michener-park
Not all new “neighbours” are welcome. Creeping bell flower, ox-eye daisy, and others are pretty but invasive. Be a good neighbour and remove them.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the AGM; we had over 30 members attend, plus 2 guests from outside the community. The new bylaws were passed so the Community League now has a modernized, streamlined set of bylaws from which to operate. A motion was also passed to restart the Infrastructure Redevelopment Committee.
We have several new faces on the board, too. Deep gratitude to the outgoing board members and a warm welcome to the new and continuing members; it is amazing to have so many people who are interested in making Malmo an even better place to live.
The IRC is looking at ways to improve and rejuvenate the Community Hall. They are still looking for 2-3 more Community League Members to join them. Their first meeting is Tuesday, June 10 at 7:30pm at the hall; there will be an option to attend the meeting remotely as well. If you are interested in being part of this important committee, please email Chris at facilities@malmoplains.com.
Calling all those who love to play in the dirt! If you have a shovel and work gloves and some free time on the morning of Saturday, June 14 between 9:30am and noon, come to the hall and help us move soil into the raised beds that were generously donated to the Community League by one of the nearby residents. Snacks are provided (and you can work up an appetite for the pizza and games night)!
Come and join the fun at the hall -- learn a new game or play an old favorite, and get to know some of your neighbours. The event starts at 4pm. If you are coming for food, show up at 5pm to be counted for the pizza order. Find more details on the Malmo Events page.
The Green Shack is back for another super-fun summer in Malmo near the school playground! It will operate Monday to Friday from 10:30am to 1:30pm starting July 2 and running until August 21. The program is targeted to kids ages 6-12 but all are welcome. Find out more about this City of Edmonton program here.
Unfortunately, the Community League did not secure the funding to run a Big Bin event in Malmo this year so this event is NOT running in July as planned. However, there are still lots of FREE opportunities to get rid of junk and also FREE places to pick up toys and craft supplies.
The City of Edmonton has designated several FREE EcoStation weekends and is running other Big Bin events during the summer and into the fall. EcoStations also accept items for the Reuse Centre.
Looking for FREE games, puzzles, craft supplies? Check out the Reuse Centre at 6835 83 Street! There is always something new to discover there.

From: Ken Hemmerling ( A Malmo Past President)
In the mailbox at the hall this week was a Notice of Public Hearing regarding the Michener Park redevelopment. As you may recall, the south edge of the development is a stormwater pond area as shown in the blue area of this map:
A section of the building area immediately next to the storm water pond was originally planned to be a maximum of four stories (16m). The notification in the mail this week is for public hearing to increase the height of those buildings to six stories (23m) as shown in this image:
Personally, I don’t have any objection to this as 1) the affected area is far from Malmo and so there’s no worry of taller buildings looking into the yards of Malmo residents, 2) the taller buildings are set back from Whitemud drive so it shouldn’t be a problem for the residents, and 3) taller buildings could help block more of the noise from Whitemud Drive and 122 st..
