Saturday Morning Chess Club
Chess Club runs every Saturday morning at the hall from 10 a.m. to noon. Check(mate) it out!
Clarification: August 7 Public Meeting About the Alberta Referendum
Some Malmo residents raised concerns about the upcoming August 7 “Community Meeting on the Referendum.” The Malmo Community Hall was rented by Alberta Women for Independence to invite local residents to discuss the upcoming Alberta Referendum in October. The rental and meeting are legal and allowed, and checks were completed before the rental was accepted.
The Community League had no input into or prior knowledge of the flyer residents may have received. Feedback about the wording “Community Meeting” has been sent to the group because it appears to have caused confusion.
Whether or not you agree with the group’s views, please be respectful in social media posts, especially in the Malmo Neighbours Facebook group, and in any discussions.
Membership Renewals Are Now Open
The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues has changed its membership year to run from August 1 to July 31.
Your existing community league membership remains valid until August 31, 2026, but you can now purchase your 2026–2027 membership.

Shoutouts
- Many thanks to the volunteers who braved the mosquitoes and weeded the landscaped beds in front of the Malmo Hall, along with smaller beds in the bump-outs and along the multi-use path. You are keeping Malmo looking on point!
- Thank you to everyone who volunteered for the July barbecue. Although it was cancelled, we truly appreciate your willingness to help and hope to see you at the Spaghetti Dinner.
- Slightly soggy thanks to the neighbours who cleared debris from their streets, including around sewer grates, after the recent storms.

Ads, venting, poems and general silliness.
- See page 2 of the July/August newsletter for more ads and other items.
