Radon Detector Lending Program
Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that can build up in your house and lead to health issues including lung cancer. Winter is a great time to test for it!
Your Malmo Community League board is 100% made up of VOLUNTEERS!
Spotlight on CHRIS OUELLETTE, our fearless Facilities Director. He oversees the snow removal/lawn care and rink contractors, ensures our hall and grounds are maintained, and heads the IRC, too. He is a small business owner who loves sustainable and environmentally friendly projects!
Halloween Fundraising Update
Thanks to Mike and Kelsey, who run the popular Halloween House on Malmo Road every year, for their fundraising efforts this past October!
Because Malmo residents stopped by and donated, they raised $1315 for the Edmonton Public School Foundation. The “big cheque” was recently presented by Mike and Kelsey. This money is part of over $15000 raised for the foundation in 2025 and goes towards public school students’ extracurricular activities and resources.
