When I was growing up I was told that certain topics were not to be discussed in polite company. Politics was one of these subjects. The reasoning behind this was because political discussions can lead to arguments that cannot be resolved. People are unlikely to change each other’s minds about their personal political beliefs, such as what party for which they choose to vote. I have to admit there is some wisdom to this.

The June-July edition of Boyle McCauley News marks the halfway point of our annual publication cycle. The month of June marks the halfway point of the calendar year. While it seems like 2025 recently began, it is flying by. That said, sometimes we have too much content to pack into our print edition or time-sensitive news we want to get out to the community. At our website (bmcnews.org) we publish content between issues.

Problem properties have been a long-standing challenge in Edmonton. They can have serious, harmful impacts on the communities around them and the people living in them. They often are in significant disrepair, are unlivable, or attract repeat criminal activity. For years, concerned Edmontonians called for stronger measures to deal with problem properties. That’s why the City of Edmonton developed a plan to address these places, in consultation with people impacted by them.

Boyle McCauley News recently spoke with Boyle Street Community League (BSCL) President Shawn Tse and Treasurer Karen Jackson. They reported that a lot is going on at the BSCL, although not in the conventional sense of organizing and hosting programs such as soccer, yoga, or a garden club. The league currently has a six-member working board. It has no staff, and not many volunteers – which limits its ability to do certain types of things. But, fortunately, there are ways to get around that.
