About the ECA

The Edgemont Community Association is the means through which Edgemont residents can have a say in their neighbourhood. The ECA manages and maintains the Edgemont Community Centre and the Rink in John Laurie Park and runs the ELM program. Our facilities and programs, along with the City maintained amenities, the parks, playgrounds, tennis courts and pathways, bring residents together to build community connections.

The ECA Mission Statement: Within Edgemont, through the efforts of a spirited and cohesive volunteer organization and support staff we will:

  • foster a sense of community
  • provide a leadership forum,
  • enhance learning opportunities, and
  • enhance social, cultural, and recreational opportunities of the community, in a fiscally responsible manner.

The ECA Vision Statement: Our vision is for the Edgemont Community Association to be the anchor of our community and a hub for neighbors to gather.[1]
