Spotlight on Lisa Charles, Social Director and Malmo’s chief FUN officer.

“I joined the board to build connections thru events that serve the community. I’m always looking for leaders to oversee events. Keep your ideas coming! We try to work them in when possible.

I love to cycle and walk in our community and the nearby natural areas. I enjoy gardening in summer. I still work part time in my own practice of energy healing.”

Little Free Library Mapping Project

There are a few maps of little libraries in the city, but a couple of young Edmontonians are not only mapping them, they are personally visiting them and highlighting some of their books.

So far, they’ve logged over 300km walking, biking, skateboarding and bussing to them. They visited all three Malmo locations in early March.

Check out their journey on Instagram @LFLBE2025. The photos of the Malmo libraries are in the March 12 post — we’re #98, #99 and #100!

Shoutouts!

Thank you to all the Pub Night volunteers who helped make it an evening to remember:

Lisa for organizing; Ken, C-Anne, Jocelyn, Cheryl, Zuzu, and Patricia for setting up, serving and cleaning up; Rebecca and Ken G for joining Jeff and his band. It was great to see so many people come to enjoy the food truck, music and neighbourhood connection. Let’s do it again soon.

Artful thanks to Rod and Cheryl for hosting an awesome WineNPaint Night in April. The paintings look amazing.

Heaps of thanks to Ron and others who have been helping to keep Malmo’s bike path free of trash and keeping an eye on our alleys.

Techy thanks to Chris and Connie for providing the tech and support for our first movie night, and to C-Anne for arranging licensing and Lisa and Ken for setting up the yummy concessions. The Princess Bride was a lot of fun to watch, especially with first-timers.

Have you seen an awesome yard? Do you have a kind neighbour? Nominate them for a shoutout in the next edition.

Rent Malmo Hall + Michener Park Update

RENT MALMO HALL

Got a birthday party? Retirement bash? Small class reunion? Rent the hall! Check out https://www.malmoplains.com/hall for a current list of amenities and updated rates.

MICHENER PARK UPDATE

The storefronts in the existing strip mall buildings are nearly all leased or pending. The restaurant/patio space closest to the roundabout is pending, but no tenant has been announced quite yet. So far, there's no grocery tenant for the as-yet un-built space reserved for that on the east side of the retail development. More info in the Avison Young brochure.

The two big apartment buildings are progressing with exterior work nearly complete and there is signage along 122 Street that one of the buildings (Malmo Village) is already leasing units for those 55+. And work is underway on smaller structures/row housing.

UAPT New Website + Black Knot + Pre-K

UNIVERSITY PROPERTIES TRUST (UAPT) – NEW WEBSITE

If you are interested in developments on University of Alberta lands that are in and around Malmo, including the “West 240” piece that is west of 122 Street between Lansdowne and Grandview Heights, the University of Alberta Properties Trust (UAPT) has launched a new website. Check out www.uapt.ca for updates, information, and news and follow UAPT on social media.

TACKLE YOUR BLACK KNOT

Got a tree with black knot? Pruning in winter/early spring while the tree is dormant is ideal. Pruning is about more than just shaping your trees; it is a critical defence against Black Knot (Apiosporina morbosa), a common fungal disease that plagues Edmonton’s fruit and ornamental trees and can kill them if left untreated. The fungus spreads through spores during wet spring weather so be a great neighbour and plan now to rid your trees of this if you have it.

Not sure if you have black knot? It’s often described as looking like “scat on a stick”, it’s rough, black galls that girdle branches. Check out the link above for a photo and more information about dealing with it effectively.

MALMO PRE-KINDERGARTEN

Did you know that there’s a pre-school operating right here in Malmo? It’s a non-profit, parent-cooperative preschool for children ages three to five years and they offer morning and afternoon programs with small class sizes.

Registration is open throughout the year. Email malmo@malmopreschool.com or visit malmopreschool.com.

Three Lines Free + Shoutouts

SHOUTOUTS

  • Cheery beer-y thanks to LISA and all the volunteers who set up, worked the bar, and cleaned up, and to JEFF and the band for putting together a rockin’ Pub Night. There were lots of good comments about the food truck, the snacks, the beer/wine, and most importantly, the connections made!
  • Dramatic thanks our hard-working president, C-ANNE, for arranging licensing for our movie night. We had fun watching The Princess Bride. It was great to have some young families and a few first-time watchers of this movie classic. Thanks also to LISA and KEN for setting up and running an awesome concession booth and to CHRIS for providing technical assistance. We hope to have more movie nights in the future!
  • Congratulations to the Lendrum Playground Committee for putting on a super-successful Wine & Charcuterie Night and Silent Auction at the hall. They raised $4467.32 for their playground. Thanks to everyone who came out to support this cause.

RMAS Junior Archaeological Scavenger Hunt & Fundraiser until Oct 31, 25 - 4712 Malmo Rd

The Royal Malmo Archaeological Society returns to Malmo Plains this Halloween season with a bigger dig and even more fun programming for the community!

Resident Halloween Fanatics Mike and Kelsey Kendrick (located at 4712 Malmo Road) invite neighbours to visit their cursed mummy's tomb on Halloween night and explore the depths of the Necropolis of Ibu-Nefret. Trick-or-treaters of all ages are welcome to venture into the crypt, which has been overrun by the wrath of ancient Egyptian deities, awakened by last year's archaeological dig. 

In the days leading up to October 31, the Royal Malmo Archaeological Society is also recruiting Junior Archaeologists, inviting young members of the community to join in an archaeological scavenger hunt to recover lost relics and the notes of researchers who've gone missing in the field. Explorers can pick up a worksheet from headquarters at 4712 Malmo Road, then search the neighbourhood to locate these hidden objects and decode their riddles. Those who do so successfully can bring their worksheets to the tomb on Halloween night in exchange for prizes.

Mike and Kelsey have also organized a fundraiser in support of the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, which strives to level the educational playing field for children who come to the classroom at a disadvantage, supporting programs that exist outside of the Government of Alberta’s public funding. Donations $25 and over are eligible for a charitable tax receipt, and can be made by visiting the fundraiser page:

Radon: The Silent Killer May Be Lurking in Your Home

You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it — yet radon could be silently putting your health at risk. In Canada, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right after smoking, and the number one cause among non-smokers.

What’s even more concerning is that the Canadian Prairies have the second-highest residential radon levels in the world, surpassed only by Poland. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, sump pumps, and other openings — often going undetected for years.

A Personal Story that Hits Close to Home

Malmo resident Greg Gazin knows firsthand how real this threat can be. When testing his own home in the Malmo community, Greg discovered dangerously high levels of radon. After having his home professionally mitigated, he dove deep into the science and solutions behind this invisible hazard.

Greg, a writer, podcaster, and contributor to Troy Media, has since published a series of authoritative articles on radon awareness and detection which included speaking with experts, scientist and people affected by Radon.

Radon: The Silent Killer May Be Lurking in Your Home

You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it — yet radon could be silently putting your health at risk. In Canada, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right after smoking, and the number one cause among non-smokers.

What’s even more concerning is that the Canadian Prairies have the second-highest residential radon levels in the world, surpassed only by Poland. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, sump pumps, and other openings — often going undetected for years.

A Personal Story that Hits Close to Home

Malmo resident Greg Gazin knows firsthand how real this threat can be. When testing his own home in the Malmo community, Greg discovered dangerously high levels of radon. After having his home professionally mitigated, he dove deep into the science and solutions behind this invisible hazard.

Greg, a writer, podcaster, and contributor to Troy Media, has since published a series of authoritative articles on radon awareness and detection which included speaking with experts, scientist and people affected by Radon. His mission is to help homeowners understand the risks and take simple, practical steps to protect themselves and their families. Read Greg's articles.
