About Us!
Boyle Street Community League is currently a small and tight knit group of people who care deeply about the neighbourhood! We currently help support events, connect with arts organizations in the area, and connect with the City of Edmonton around the future of Boyle Street.
We are looking forward to growing! We would love to have you and other neighbours share your vision for the community, and become more involved in all areas of the community league! There is room for you here.
About the Boyle Street neighbourhood!
Boyle Street is geographically quite large and diverse! It encompasses South Chinatown to the West at 97st, from the slope towards the river valley on the south side to the LRT tracks on the north edge, all the way to 84st to the East.
We are also a culturally diverse neighbourhood. We are on Treaty 6 territory, homelands of the Nêhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakoda (Stoney), Dene, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Anishinaabe (Ojibway/Saulteaux) peoples, as well as Métis, and a meaningful community of Inuit people. We are located in the historical and ongoing heart of longstanding Chinese communities in Edmonton. Many of our community members currently call Boyle Street home, and come from many places internationally.
We are a largely residential community: we live in single family dwellings, shared and group accommodations, walk up apartments, larger low- and mid-rise apartments and condos, large high rise apartments along Jasper Avenue!
We also have many churches, small businesses, arts spaces and social support spaces in our neighbourhood. Some of these fantastic spaces include:
