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.

Friends,It’s hard to believe it’s winter already! As I mentioned last time I wrote, my Alberta NDP Caucus colleagues and I headed back to the Legislature at the end of October. I’ve continued to push for action on the issues I’ve been hearing from you about: affordable housing, public health care where and when you need it, a compassionate and evidence-based approach to the drug poisoning crisis, education funding, and protections for vulnerable and marginalized Albertans.

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.

As many of you already know, Boyle McCauley News has been publishing for 45 years. That’s quite a milestone, especially considering just a few years ago we were unsure if the paper was going to be able to continue. We mark milestones in our lives usually through some large act of pomp and circumstance. In my life, “Pomp and Circumstance” was literally played in my presence as I graduated with a Master of Library and Information Studies from the University of Alberta in November.

With so many dining options in our neighbourhood, restaurants change, yet some things stay the same. So while restaurants come and go, our love of pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) stays the same! In our October-November issue, we covered Delicious Pho, which moved from its old space on 106th Avenue. Now that emptied space has been filled by a new restaurant called Pho Satay & Grill. The new owners have renovated the space with a clean and modern design using grey wood and black furniture.

The City of Edmonton has rules about who is responsible for cleaning up abandoned trash and snow/ice removal on boulevards and sidewalks. The Community Standards Bylaw requires property owners to manage the garbage and remove the snow and ice on the sidewalk and boulevard near their property. Property owners are responsible for cleaning up the garbage even if they didn’t put it there. Owners are also responsible for cutting the grass and maintaining the boulevards in front of their property.
