Where We Came From

Rosslyn Community League was founded in 1961 as a not-for-profit organization within the neighbourhood boundaries of 137 Avenue to the North, 132 Avenue to the South, 97 Street to the East, and 113a Street to the West and with Jack Neilson as the first president. Volunteers living in the community of Rosslyn are elected to the Rosslyn Community League Board of Directors to manage the league facilities which include, a hall, an outdoor ice rink and rink building, a playground with a spray park, and the surrounding green space, and to facilitate various programs and events for the community. Over the years there have been various improvements to the facilities and grounds that have enhanced experiences for the community as it has grown and transformed. Along with the league facilities the neighbourhood also has an elementary and junior high school, various retail stores, and shared walking paths. Rosslyn Community League belongs to both Council Area One and Council Area Two, is in the City of Edmonton Ward Anirniq, and acts as a voice for the community on matters of interest to different levels of government and other organizations.
