Wîhkwêntôwin Community League
The Wîhkwêntôwin Community League is 100% volunteer driven by people who live and work in Wîhkwêntôwin, Edmonton (109 Street-124th Street & the River Valley to 104 Ave). In 1922 the residents of west Edmonton established the West End Community League. The Oliver Community League emerged out of this foundational organization in 1937. In 2024, the neighbourhood name changed to Wîhkwêntôwin in a process supported and drive by the community league. You can find more about the renaming here. Now, the Wîhkwêntôwin Community League is thrilled to grow and continue to make our neighbourhood welcome for all. The League works to improve the quality of life of our residents by promoting participation in affordable local recreation and social activities, and advocating on behalf of our community on planning and development issues including preservation of our local heritage resources. The League also partners with and supports local agencies that endeavor to provide necessary services to our disadvantaged or isolated citizens. We are part of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, the representative and coordinating body for all community leagues in Edmonton. The EFCL is unique in its structure – there is no comparable organization like it in the world. It is also North America's largest registered volunteer not-for profit organization.
