The Edmonton Community Challenge!

Presented By Boardwalk Rental Communities

The Edmonton Community Challenge is a volunteer-driven event that aims to promote community spirit through friendly competition. By registering to join teams that represent community leagues throughout the city, individuals can support local charities, get to know others in their community, and win some great prizes! The event challenges will take place throughout the month of June, and teams will be rewarded based on a pre-determined point system for their energy, creativity, and commitment to sustainability.

The Edmonton Community Challenge resulted from a collaboration between NextGen and the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, in partnership with The Works Art and Design Festival, Edmonton Bicycle Commuters, and Capital City Cleanup. Each event is designed to have a charitable component as part of the challenge – non-profit organizations that will directly benefit from this as a result are the Youth Emergency Shelter Society, Edmonton Bicycle Commuters, and the Edmonton Food Bank.
