Bike Challenge Is Leagues at Their Bikey Best
More than 105,000km biked by 16 Leagues
Ritchie Community League let us know this year's Community League BIke Challenge was *very* successful. And there's apparently more to come.
Ritchie writes:
"The June Bike Challenge had 16 participating leagues this year. Ritchie took the title again, but Peace Avenue and Lendrum had very strong showings. Lendrum had the most kilometres when averaged by population. Amazing job to everyone who participated. Stay tuned for August …we are planning another type of ‘get up and go’ challenge."
Well done, everyone.

Community League Day 2022 Toolkit
Build Edmonton – With Us: Graphics, tipsheets, tools
We’ve created a virtual toolkit that will allow Leagues to concentrate on their Community League Day events and let us worry about graphics, messaging, preparations and other questions.
Build Edmonton – With Us
The idea for Community League Day in 2022 is simple. While each League should hold a great event, what might happen for all Leagues if we all collectively share a visual look, similar messages and other bits to convey the bigger story – that there are 162 Leagues across Edmonton? We’re a community-building force. Let’s make that clear using #LetsBuildYEG.

We respectfully acknowledge the land upon which the EFCL operates is located on Treaty 6 Territory and has served a purpose as a traditional meeting ground for many First Nations groups. This territory has provided a traveling route and home to the Nakoda Sioux, and later, Blackfoot and Cree peoples, followed by Saulteaux and Métis and other Indigenous peoples.
