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.

Explore Chinatown to discover 13 newly decorated light boxes in Chinatown. The light box decorating was an exciting initiative supported by the City of Edmonton’s Vibrant Street Program and led by me in my capacity as a Chinatown Business Improvement Area (BIA) director. I brought together a diverse group of talented local artists, schools, and even a soccer team to make The Traffic Light Box Project a reality.
