QUESTIONS & INQUIRIES ............................................................................................................... Registration Process – why the change? For the 2018-2019 season, Edmonton was the first community in the country to go live with the Special Olympics Canada Online Database & Registration System, and despite the challenges, our community did AWESOME! We are proud of the work that our team and our community put in to push the system out for its first year. However, many concerns were brought forward and our Alberta team has worked hard this year to ensure your voices were heard about the difficulty with using the online system to register for programs. There are still many user difficulties that have not been resolved. As such, Edmonton and Alberta has decided to use a system that our athletes and community can access and use with ease for this year. This is why we have decided to go to an online Google Form instead. If you have not used Google Forms in the past, they are very similar to a paper form and are designed to be extremely user-friendly. If you do not typically do online registration, we ask that you try the link out as we think you may be pleasantly surprised with how quick and easy it is! The long-term plan will be to return to the online database system once critical issues have been resolved. At this time, we do not feel confident in the system to get all athletes registered and done with relative ease. We hope that in the future we see a resolve of the critical issues we and our community have flagged, and that we can return to the online database system with confidence. Thank-you for sticking with us through yet another season of changed process – your adaptability and understanding does not go unnoticed and makes us so very proud of our Special Olympics family here in Edmonton. We hope this year’s registration process comes with less headaches to our athletes and their supports and we appreciate your feedback as always on your experience with this new system. 2 Special Olympics Edmonton 2019-2020 Program Outline Ph: 780-448-1876 - Email: [email protected] Season Program Fee Start End Weekday Time Location 5-Pin AS1 $170 Oct Apr Sundays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Bonnie Doon Bowling Lanes - AS2 $170 Oct Apr Sundays 1:00pm - 3:00 pm Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre 8330 82 Ave AS3 $170 Oct Apr Sundays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Plaza Bowling Co. 10418 118 Ave NW 10-Pin $165 Sept May Saturdays 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Gateway Lanes - 3414 Gateway Blvd NW Alpine Skiing $205 Oct Mar Mondays 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Snow Valley Ski Club Cross Country Ski $55 Nov Mar Saturdays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Gold Bar Park 10955 - 50 St Curling $60 Oct Mar Tuesdays 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm Derrick Curling Club 3500 119 Street NW Floor Hockey $95 Oct Mar Wednesdays 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Edmonton Expo Centre - 7515 118 Ave NW Fall Start Indoor Soccer Adult Dates Rec $90 Oct Mar Thursdays TBD TBD Advanced $90 Oct Mar Thursdays TBD Rhythmic Gymnastics Sprites (Performance) $50 Oct May Thursdays 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Princeton Elementary School - 7720 130 Ave NW Snowshoeing $50 Nov Mar Sundays 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Rundle Park - ACT 2909 113 Ave Swimming Beginner $120 Oct Mar Mondays 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm Intermediate $120 Oct Mar Mondays 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm NAIT Pool - 11665 109 St NW 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm M Advanced $155 Oct Mar Mondays & Thursdays 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm T Introduction to Steadward Centre University of Alberta Winter Start $70 Jan May Tuesdays 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Strength Training Van Vliet Complex Dates Fit for Life - $55 Oct March Sundays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Curves!

  • EPC 2017 2Nd Quarter Report to the Community
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2017 Second Quarter COMMITTED TO POLICING EXCELLENCE Chief Rod Knecht, Superintendent Deb Jolly, and several school children planted an Autumn Blaze Maple Tree with a commemorative plaque to mark the special occasion. CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF POLICING IN EDMONTON In early May, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) planted 125 trees to recognize its roots in the community and to share a lasting legacy with future generations. The trees were planted by EPS school resource officers and over 600 grade one students taking part in the City of Edmonton’s annual Arbor Day activities at Gold Bar Park. For many children it was their first time interacting with police. To make the experience more memorable, EPS canine officers and their dogs gave demonstrations, EPS volunteers gave out crayons and colouring books, and Barney the Bear gave out hugs. “I’m encouraged by these children, they’re aware of their community and the environment, and want to help out and do the right thing,” said Chief Rod Knecht. “If these are our future leaders and police officers, we’re in good hands.” EDMONTON POLICE COMMISSION 1 2017 Second Quarter Report to the Community On June 17, an estimated 4,600 past and present EPS employees, families and friends gathered at Fort Edmonton Park to celebrate the 125 milestone. The event included rides and games in the 1920s midway, train and horse drawn wagon rides, black powder gun demonstrations, face painting, and five bands made up of former and current members of the EPS playing in the Blatchford Hangar throughout the evening.
