Tribute to Dr. Bob Steadward
The Neighbour Who Helped Build the Paralympic Movement
Did you know that a former resident of Malmo is a true national and international treasure? Read Greg Gazin’s article about Dr. Bob, who made a deep impact on Edmonton, Canada and the world with his work for the Paralympic community and many other community causes.
“Sometimes the most amazing stories live right next door.” Congratulations, Dr. Bob!

Shoutouts
- Musical thanks to Rebecca and the Malmo Community Choir for the marvelous concert on May 4. It was fun to hear some favourite tunes and then meet with friends and neighbours afterwards for some lovely food.
- Sweeping thanks to Chris, Murray, Sharon, Len, Steve, Linda, Patricia, Lisa and Connie for cleaning up the hall grounds and sand courts in early May. Special thanks to our MP, Heather McPherson, who came and helped pick trash and debris around the sand courts. It was a nice surprise to have her join us in the morning.
- A great deal of thanks to Maureen for organizing, to David for planting the seed, and to all the marvelously diverse Malmo vendors who made Malmo’s Spring Market a success. Massive congratulations to all of you, and we look forward to another market in November.
