Newton Community League is committed to achieving a healthy, safe and friendly environment by providing information, programs, support and resources to enhance the sense of community for Newton Residents.

The community of Newton is a quiet area just north of the river that features tree-lined streets, quaint houses and friendly faces enjoying a walk around the block. Approximately 3,000 people call the area home, and most have put down roots. According to city statistics, more than 65% of Newton’s residents have lived in the neighbourhood for more than five years.

Happy 2026 Newton Residents!

As we enter into the new year, Newton is seeking volunteers of all interests and skills. We have a number of board positions that require interested candidates before the Annual General Meeting in June – notable positions include President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. These candidates will be provided with onboarding, mentoring and transition training – we promise you won’t be thrown into the deep end! Volunteers are supported not only be the existing volunteer base, but have a variety of resources through the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues and neighboring communities.

We understand that a formal board position may not be an option for everyone, so we encourage interested folks to get involved at whatever level and capacity they can – that might mean throwing an event or delivering advertising. Opportunities of all sizes and interests exist!

Please join us on January 20 at 7 PM to learn more about opportunities, socialize with neighbors, and ask questions of both the EFCL and our City representative. Filling these critical roles will be necessary to keep the league open and flourishing beyond the June AGM.

See you there!
