Introduction to Community Walking
2018-10-13 04:00 - 09:00 | Alberta
The Community League Walking Program offers a convenient, low risk, and affordable form of physical activity for community league members in their neighbourhoods. To grow regular and urban pole walking programs across the city, the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL) is offering leadership training for members interested in starting or assisting with a program in their community.
Community league members registered in this training session will become certified Urban Poling instructors for their community and learn about topics such as urban pole technique, risk management, and route planning. Members will be provided a program manual and resource guide developed by the EFCL, intended to help leaders plan, deliver, evaluate, and sustain a program in their communities.
Please note that you must be a current community league member to register. Spots will be prioritized for community league members who plan to lead a walking program in their community. Community league members who simply want to learn more about the walking program will only be able to attend if the session is not filled. To read more about the program, please visit the EFCL website.

2018-10-06 08:30 - 10:00 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
Robotics 101 program is designed to introduce students to both robot building as well as programming. The students will build robots to accomplish a specific task while using their imagination to make their robot better than the basic robot. During the class, students will discover the Engineering Design Process in a real-world setting as they test their
robots multiple times.
4-week class
Saturday, October 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th
Robotics 101 – $110 for members (any league), $130 for non-members
– 14 participants max (6 required to run the class)
Please register below.
Program Details:
Robot Intelligence–During the first lesson students will build their
robots. Students will also discover that robots have to be programmed and a
robot does not work as soon as it is built.
Arm Flexing–By the time students have reached the Arm Flexing lesson,
they have a solid understanding of the mechanics of both the programming
and build of the robots. Students will be challenged to program their robot
to drive to a ping-pong ball and hit the ball with an arm. The students
will be competing against one another to get the ping-pong ball the
furthest.
Line Follow–The Line Following lesson will introduce students to a new
light sensor and build upon what they learned in Bouncing Off the Walls.
With the light sensor, their robot will be able to differentiate between
light and dark and navigate its way around a track.
Sumobots–The students will be challenged with building battle robots to
push the opponent’s robot outside of the Sumo Ring. Students will need to
use what they learned from prior lessons to make a robot that is very
stable, utilizes sensors, and maybe even an arm for flipping

Foaming Fun – Foam can have properties of both a liquid and solid. During
this lesson, students will create and investigate different solutions of
foam and analyze their properties. Prepare to make a mess!
Secret Inkers – Chemical reactions are cool, but when you have certain
chemical reactions you can create some really mysterious designs. In this
class, students explore how acids and bases react and use what they’ve
learned to write their own secret messages.
Presto-Chango Dough – Students will have the opportunity to make their own
play dough using simple household materials. Students will learn how
different materials react chemically and how they can change the physical
properties of their Presto-Chango Dough!
Playful Polymers – In this activity, students will be able to manipulate
the material properties of glue. By combing glue with different solutions,
students can explore the processes needed to create new materials. Can students
turn glue into Play-Doh, slime, or bouncy balls?
Ice Cream Factory – During this activity students will explore the freezing
processes of ice cream. After their first batch, students will manipulate
the process to see if they can reduce freezing time. Students will have

Help the Bees! Bee Hotel Workshop
2018-05-25 13:00 - 15:00 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
Did you know that much of the food that you eat owes itself to pollinators? The majority of pollinators are insects, such as butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, and especially bees!
Alberta is home to over 300 species of bees, most of which are solitary bees: they are not aggressive and are also very efficient pollinators.
Pollinators and bees are declining for a number of reasons, including: habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. We need solitary bees to pollinate our plants, including our vegetable plots, flower gardens and agricultural crops.
You can help Edmonton’s bees!
Join us for this Help the Bees: Bee Hotel Workshop where you will create a bee hotel for your backyard from a kit provided by the Edmonton and Area Land Trust. You will also learn more about what you can do to help bees and other pollinators. Bee hotels attract tunnel-nesting, non-aggressive solitary bees and other solitary pollinators, which lay their eggs in the tunnels of the hotel. By placing these in your yard, you will help to create much needed habitat and in turn, will also be introducing more pollinators to help your flower and vegetable gardens.
Participants must bring their own fully-charged cordless drill (with extra battery if possible), and should be comfortable using it. All other tools and supplies will “bee” provided!
This workshop is open to adults and children aged 5+. Children 13 and under must be registered with an adult. Maximum of two adults or one adult and two children per bee hotel kit. For families with two adults and two+ children, two bee hotel kits will need to be purchased.
Workshop provided by: Edmonton and Area Land Trust

Join us on Tuesday, April 24 as Greg LeBoeuf chat with us about tactical communication.
Personal vs. Professional
Would you know how you would react during confrontation? Your reaction can affect the outcome of the situation.
Multiple times a day we are faced with the challenge of effectively communicating our message to individuals who chronically live in a state of stress. When we fail to communicate effectively, it’s often due to ineffective strategies that create an adversarial relationship.

Learn to develop a professional presence and how to avoid being “sucked” into an emotionally charged reaction by your personal self.
Learn a simple, yet powerful routine that allows you to “click” into your personal self, and to maintain this powerful state, even in the face of intense pressure.
Learn 5 essential communication techniques that provide an easy to follow process that creates neutral ground and a positive experience.
Learn exactly what to do and say when you encounter someone who simply will not comply with our requests.

What others say about yoga classes with Corinne:
“Yoga classes with Corinne changed my life! They helped to gradually increase my physical strength and to become more emotionally-centred – they showed me how to use breathing to reduce anxiety! Corinne’s classes are relaxed but professional. I have two artificial hips and she made sure that no execises put me in any danger and if there was something that was uncomfortable for me to do, she found an alternate exercise that was comfortable. Corinne is a person who is totally at ease teaching a class no matter the age group; she is relatable on all levels and very laid-back. Her classes are your real sense of belonging to something special. She keeps it just personal enough so that everybody related to each other in a fun and positive way! In my opinion, anybody would benefit from taking a class with Corinne.” – Agnes
“I have practiced yoga for 15 years, the last three under Corinne’s guidance. Her classes are welcoming, relaxing and often humorous as Corinne offers yoga antidotes, gentle adjustments and support. In addition to settling cranky hips, back and neck. I love the social side of her classes which benefits both body and soul.” – Cathy
“Corinne has been a constant nurturing presense in my yoga journey of the past seven years. Her compassion and loving-kindness creates a safe, accepting space for her student to bring their joys and their pain to the mat. Her classes are simulataneously challenging and incredibly supportive; when I leave, I feel reconnected with the peace and strength within myself.” – Frieda

Neighbourhood Watch Speaker Series: Kim Buehler
2018-03-27 13:45 - 15:00 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
Did you know that benches can improve safety and community in your neighbourhood?
For the second instalment of our Speaker Series, we are delighted to welcome Kim Buehler, the Executive Director of the South East Edmonton Seniors Association. She succesfully launched a bench program in her Edmonton neighbourhood and will be joining us to discuss the topic of place making, the importance of installing benches in our communities and how we can successfully adopt an initiative in our neighbourhood.
Why benches? They help make a neighbourhood more walkable by providing rest stops where people can sit and meet their neighbours or relax on their own. In turn, they encourage community building which helps reduce social isolation and loneliness, gives peoples places to relax in their community, and a chance to get out and see and be seen. All of these contribute to the safety of a neighbourhood.
We are excited to look into creating these public spaces that will help contribute to our sense of community and in turn, people’s health, happiness and well-being in Knottwood. Come out to learn more.

About the Crime Prevention and Neighbourhood Watch Speaker Series
Join us on the last Tuesday of each month, to learn different topics and strategies to reduce opportunities for crime. Guest speakers will attend and provide information and advice. Learn how to report vandalism, graffiti, crime and suspicious activities. Talk about your concerns regarding neighbourhood safety and have the opportunity to share your ideas to improve safety.
Locks, windows, doors, fencing, cameras, lighting, and landscaping are just some of the tools we can use to reduce the attractiveness of potential crime targets. The practice of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) ensures that all spaces are defined, properly designed, and have a designated use. These are some of the strategies and tools we will discuss how to use to deter crime within and around properties and the community. Check back each month for our new speaker.

Knottwood's Babysitter Mixer
2018-03-16 12:00 - 14:00 | Knottwood Community Hall, 445 Knottwood Rd, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3N1, Canada
Registration is now closed: BABYSITTER MIXER – IT’S LIKE SPEED DATING…ONLY IT’S FOR PARENTS AND BABYSITTERS.
If you are a parent with young kids, you know how hard it can be to find childcare. Let Knottwood Community League come to the rescue by introducing you to a dozen top-notch sitter candidates.
At this fun-filled two-hour mixer, parents meet a dozen or so fun and fabulous youth who are looking for babysitting jobs. This is the perfect way to meet, chat, see resumes and get to know each other…face to face. Parents will have a chance to have 5 to 10 minute “mini interviews’ with each sitter candidate to get a feel for who they are and how they might fit into their family. This is truly a cost-effective way of interviewing multiple candidates at a time versus spending hours surfing the web, searching community job boards and setting up multiple appointments. In just a couple of hours, you can meet great babysitters, with resumes and references who are ready to meet the kids!
Where: Knottwood Community Hall
When: Friday, March 16th 6-8pm
