Malmo July 2024 News, Newsletter , Summer BBQ & Other Happenings

From the President:

Summer BBQ

.

Malmo Summer BBQ - Saturday July 6th 12pm-3pm.

Malmo Hall, 11525 48 Ave

I'm looking forward to our Summer BBQ. It was our first big social event last year and went really well. I expect that this year, it will be quite a bit bigger. It is a great way to have some fun and meet some neighbours. Attendance is Free for all Malmo Residents

This year we are working to increase the fun activities for kids. We will have

Bouncy Castle

We will have our bouncy castle set up. It is quite the hit with the kids.

Face Painting

Also we will have Julia's Jubilant Face Painting for the full 3 hours. She has done a fantastic job for the Malmo Preschool events and the kids absolutely loved it.

Games & Activities

This year we will have games and activities hosted by the Girl Guide Rangers. These are the high school aged Girl Guides. They are the ones that do cookie sales in the neighbourhood and they have their weekly meetings at the hall. They were extremely excited to volunteer with the community. 

Free Malmo Jerseys

As I've been going through old items in the hall I found lots of old soccer and baseball jerseys. We started giving them away last summer. But we still have 5 boxes left, so lots to go around!

Free Food & Drinks(non alcoholic)

We will have hot dogs and hamburgers, as well as lots of sides. We also work to offer Halal, & Vegetarian/Vegan options. If you have any dietary concerns, please email me. And if you wanted to bring food for dietary restrictions, we would welcome and can provide reimbursement.(With prior approval and receipts)

First Aid Training in Malmo - July 20, 2024

We recently purchased an AED machine for the hall. Muhammad, the vice president, brought up the point that we should work to train our members in First Aid. So that we can make the most effective use of the AED machine, if the time ever comes where it is needed.

We are offering a First Aid/CPR course for Malmo Residents.The cost is $30 for Malmo residents. The in-person training will be held at the Community league hall on July 20, 2024.

An online training is required to be completed before the in-person portion. If you are interested you can sign up through our online store at https://www.malmoplains.com/store1

If you have any questions, email vicepresident@malmoplains.com

The deadline to signup is June 30, 2024. But we will likely be holding more courses in the future(likely in the winter)

Your Action is Needed!!! Malmo Safety Update – Trent Charles, President, Malmo Nov 2023

Your Safety Statistics are Needed!

It’s been amazing connecting with so many Malmo residents over the last few months! There is so much warmth and dedication from our gem of a community. In my conversations with community members, the #1 issue is safety. We’ve been getting the ball rolling, and recently I met with the Chief of Staff (Yonathan Sumamo) for Minister of the Public Safety and Emergency Services (Mike Ellis). To spur action, they want us to provide a formal letter with as much data as possible. We will be sending a joint letter with Southgate Mall. Your statistics will greatly help us strengthen our letter!

Have you experienced crime or a lack of safety in Malmo? Please let us know by emailing president@malmoplains.com or filling out this Google Form (There will not be any personal information disclosed in the letter, we will be providing totals).  

If possible, we would like to know:

  • Date/Time

  • Type of incident

  • Dollar value involved

  • Personal injuries?

  • Police called

  • Outcome

For Malmo Hall, we were broken into twice over the past 3 months. First, our main door handle was broken through. A few weeks later, the deadbolt of our garage door was cut through with an angle grinder. In total, our repairs cost $2,651.10. Thankfully Malmo resident Mike R. witnessed the second break-in and called police, who were able to recover the stolen belongings and apprehend the suspects.

An Open Dialogue with EPS - Mark your Calendar


Saturday November 25th 2pm-4pm at Southgate Baptist Church

Our second quarterly Safety Meeting is an Open Dialogue with Edmonton Police Service  Saturday November 25th 2pm-4pm at Southgate Baptist Church (11107 51 Ave). As frontline workers, EPS shoulder a lot of public criticism and blame. In my meeting with Police Chief Dale McFee, I learned that EPS is working hard to enforce safety, and they shared that they can be limited by external factors such as government policies. They are excited to share the initiatives they have in motion, tips to keep our neighbourhood safer, as well as answer any questions from residents.

In my meetings with different stakeholders, one crucial element that seems to be missing are lines of communications- whether it is between the city and province, between the city and the community, or the province and community. Our goal with the Open Dialogue is to start the flow of communication, starting with the community and EPS. We all need each other to create a successful outcome!

*To ensure your questions are answered during Q&A, please submit them to president@malmoplains.com beforehand.

Trent met up with Police Chief Dale McFee to discuss Malmo safety

Here is a replay of that meeting.
