Ritchie Community League

Ritchie Community League Workshops, presentations, pub nights, Men's Shed, dance instruction, yoga, crafternoons, summer gatherings, and all around space for people to gather.

Ritchie is a vibrant, historical community in the heart of Edmonton. With our proximity to the University of Alberta, our wealth of independent businesses, a Francophone and a Spanish bilingual elementary school and easy transit access to major hubs, we are a community of diverse interests and people. We have several playgrounds, a new spray park, an ice rink, basketball, volleyball and tennis cou

rts. We have Mill Creek Ravine, a beautiful place with walking and cycling trails along with off leash areas- so much to do for the whole family! If you live in Ritchie, we encourage you to purchase a community league membership (Family $20, Single $10, Seniors are Free!). This gets you unlimited access to our rinks and sports equipment, free swimming at Bonnie Doon pool on Saturdays from 6-7pm and Sundays from 4-5:30pm, reduced rates at all City of Edmonton facilites and it helps the league to improve the community! You can purchase a membership for you and your family at Ritchie Foods (corner of 76ave and 96st). We have monthly meetings the first Thursday of the month at 7pm, all are welcome to attend and join in the discussion of what's going on in Ritchie!

Street work in progress on 98 Street between 77 and 81 avenues. As announced earlier this summer, the city is moving ahead with permanent safety infrastructure in Ritchie. These speed bumps were initially part of a pilot project to prevent shortcutting through our community. Ritchie Community League is excited to see investment in safety measures for our neighbourhood!

NOTE: These photos were taken last week, so there might have been more progress since then. You'll have to wander down 98 street to see the changes for yourself until we can send another volunteer out there. If you post your pics, tag us in them!

The goal is to help local business owners and entrepreneurs connect with one another, build community, become more involved with the Ritchie Community League, and become an active part of the fabric of our neighbourhood. Bring your business cards and plan to meet three new people--including members of RCL's 2026-27 board of directors! ooh la la 😘

We just got word from our volunteer that they are unable to continue hosting Craft in the Park. 😭We are cancelling the final two events - August 24 & 31.

If you are still interested in crafting with your neighbours, CRAFTERNOON is back starting September 20. This is RCL's craft party that happens every two months through fall and winter.

Ritchie Community League runs on volunteer power. If you want to help get neighbours engaged with the league and each other, please get in touch!

West Ritchie Community Garden is looking GORGEOUS right now! It's wonderful to see our gardeners have success in this special community space. Beans, peas, tomatoes, nasturtiums, herbs, potatoes, peppers...a little bit of everything 💚

The garden is located at 79 Avenue and 101 Street. It's the perfect place to hangout in the summer evenings when that golden sunshine hits it just right. Pull up a picnic table and soak up the green vibes.
