May is the month we kick off our summer programs in central Edmonton, and there’s all kinds of ways to get involved! We are looking for volunteer gardeners to help grow the LIVINGbridge on 97 Street. Or, if gardening outside of downtown is more your style, we need help out at Lady Flower Garden on the northeast end of the city.

Sports are also a big part of the ICRWP, and we are helping get new programs started this summer. If you’re interested in learning to be a soccer or baseball coach for kids, it would be amazing to have your help. Also, we are starting a bike mentorship program, and we need help with that too!

Music and arts are also right up our alley, and there are many ways to get involved. In fact, no matter your interest, we probably have a program you can make even better! So please drop me a line at recandwellness@gmail.com, and we can get to work making Central Edmonton a place with better well-being for all!

Rylan is the Program Coordinator of the Inner City Recreation and Wellness Program.
