Winter Sidewalk Maintenance

Community Standards Bylaw 14600 requires home owners and tenants to clear snow and ice from every walk and driveway on or beside their property within 48 hours of the last snowfall. The fine for failing to do so is $100 and clean up costs. If you have a concern about a neighbour's uncleared walk please call 311, visit www.edmonton.ca, or consider becoming a Snow Angel and clear snow and/or ice for those not able to do so themselves. 

To nominate someone who has been your Snow Angel, please email us at mayfieldcommunityyeg@gmail.com. They will receive a certificate of recognition, a gift and their name will be put in a draw for a Boston Pizza Gift Certificate. Together, we can have safe sidewalks, clear of ice and snow.
Coyote Sightings

The City of Edmonton Park Rangers - Wildlife Citizen Services, has be contacted by a couple of citizens in our area regarding coyote sightings. They have received multiple coyote sightings through their complaint line and they wanted to provide Mayfield Community with some information on coyotes.  Please click here for an information pamphlet on coyotes.

Thank you!

Message from Our Lady of Peace Elementary School

There has been a lot of excitement since the start of the New Year at Our Lady of Peace. We continue to see gains and growth in the areas of Literacy and Numeracy, Physical Literacy and through our Performing Arts program. We also continue to witness our Catholic Virtues through our focus book "The Seven Sacred Teachings." As we continue to see signs of spring, our students have taken on many leadership roles in various clubs such as Art Club, Comic Club, Badminton, HERO club, Lego Club and other school based activities. We also continue to fundraise for the Sign of Hope through our healthy apple chip sales. This is all a great example of our school motto "Together We Grow."

Our Lady of Peace is a great community school with many opportunities for students. We are accepting registrations for the 2018/19 school year. If you would like to meet to find out more information about the school please call 780.489.1222.

Save Our School!

Edmonton Public Schools is hosting meetings in April and May to continue our conversation about creating great learning spaces for students at Brightview, Britannia, Mayfield and Youngstown schools. In 2016 and 2017, we held several meetings to talk to parents and the community about potential concepts for the area, but the feedback we received did not lead us to a firm decision.

We’re hosting five meetings to collect input and idea on three potential options. More information about the options is available on spaceforstudents.epsb.ca. Community members can attend any of these meetings:

April 16, 2018

Mayfield Community Hall Improvements

You may have noticed that there was some construction being done at the Community Hall in June. The foundation needed some structural repairs. These repairs have now been completed with the exception of the concrete around the west & north side of the building and the asphalt on the east side. We're hoping to have those completed before late fall.
