The process of forming a new community league for Allard is currently in the works.
Currently Allard has been separated from the Blackmud Community League due to the combined size.
There have been meetings with the City of Edmonton Neighbourhood Resource Coordinator and some residents in Allard so far. If enough people from Cavanagh and or Callaghan want to join Allard, it would be a joint league. No word on this as of yet.
This process is looking for volunteers to create the Allard based community league.
