Tipton Park Conversation Café #2
Water the focus at September 22 café
The community continued to shape its vision for water at Tipton Park at a Conversation café held at Queen Alexandra hall on September 22. Ideas about water revolved around natural features such as a stream or rock bed with a walking bridge, pathways, benches and gazebo, and spray deck features that would incorporate a natural feel in design and color.

Shaping the Vision of Tipton Park — Online Survey
The wading pool at Tipton Park has been the catalyst to look to creating a master plan for Tipton Park. According to Alberta Health Services, City of Edmonton wading pools do not meet the standard set out in the Pubic Health Act Swimming Pool Regulations. As such all 40 of the neighbourhood wading pools in the City are being retrofitted to spray decks, some standard and some enhanced with community financial support. The final year for conversion is 2012 and Tipton Park water decisions must be made before year end 2011. The surrounding communities are being invited to decide on how water will be represented (or no water). In the process, please consider what is important to you in the whole park be responding to the survey link below. The survey is open until October 9, 2011.
QACL response to Proposed Rezoning at 76 Avenue and 106 Street (Lulu)

RE: LDA11‐0178 Proposed Rezoning to CB1 at 76 Avenue and 106 Street
To whom it may concern,
The Queen Alexandra Community League envisions our neighbourhood as a family‐friendly, human‐scaled, sustainable, inner‐city community. The proposed rezoning to CB1 at the corner of 106th Street and 76th Avenue does not fit with this vision, and thus we are opposed to LDA11‐0178.
