Malmo - BIG BIN Event Aug 24 11-3pm - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Malmo Residents!
Our Big Bin Event last year was a massive success. The Big Bin Event (Sat Aug 24, 11-3PM) is a way for residents to drop off unwanted large items at the Malmo Community League hall. It is free for Malmo residents with a current Community League Membership!
We accept all junk EXCEPT:
Mattresses & Box Springs
Appliances, Large Furniture (e.g. Large sofas, large tables, etc.)
Household/Hazardous Waste
Green Waste/Compostable Matter
We reserve the right to refuse to accept any furniture other than that mentioned above, and we may direct you to the Eco Station who is having a free weekend.
We will also be manning a reuse pile. This will be for things that still have value that someone else might be interested in. Residents are free to drop off and pick up anything that still has life except for what was listed above. And at the end of the day, Find will pick up anything they can use for their store.
Kind regards,
Muhammad Elezzabi
Vice-President

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)
