Twin Brooks Resident Receives "Good Neighour Award"!

The City of Edmonton annually awards a few citizens with a "Good Neighbour Award", and this year Twin Brooks resident SHAUNA NICHOLS earned this prestigious award in special recognition of her tireless efforts to make a difference in the lives of the people in her neighbourhood. 

The award recognizes anything from actions that support an individual neighbour in need to efforts that motivate a neighbourhood group to support a neighbourhood event which builds a greater sense of community and connection.
 
Since 2008 Shauna has volunteered countless hours doing a wide range of community work including her key roles in organizing  our annual major events such as the annual Twin Brooks Community BBQs, Community Winter Festivals, Soccer Registrations, and more.   She also organizes volunteers for programs in Twin Brooks  such as the 'Traffic Count 'at GPN,  Walkable Edmonton, and SHAPE, Alberta.  And not to forget: Shauna also served on the Twin Brooks Community League volunteer Board of Directors (Join her! We have openings!).
 
Shauna not only does a lot of work for our community - she does it very well too! She is thorough, efficient, pays attention to details, and is very persistent when dealing with various public services.

Congratulations Shauna!  Twin Brooks is a much better community for all of us because of your hard work and great attitude!

Twin Brooks Resident Awarded for Community Traffic Safety Work

Twin Brooks resident Ida Richards (who is also serving as our current Community League president) was one of two recipients of the City of Edmonton's "Community Traffic Safety Award 2012". Ida shared the honours with Patricial Grell of Woodcroft community.

The awards were presented at Council Chambers in City Hall.

Pictured Are: Mayor Mandell, Bryan Anderson (Councillor for Twin Brooks), Ida Richards with her grandsons Logan and Carter Richards and their father Walter Richards, Councillors Karen Leibovici and Kim Krushel (in charge of Traffic in Council) and Pat Grell.

Ida’s grandson Logan was invited to attend since it was the incident in June 2006, when he and Ida were nearly knocked down in front of his home by a driver talking on a cell phone. This incident, and that may drivers frequently exceed the 50 km/h speed limit on their street that led Ida to start the "Traffic Safety" initiatives in Twin Brooks which includedthe "Pace Car Program" and the pilot project for 40 km/h speed limits

In presenting the award, Councillor Leibovici emphasized the vital role of community residents in enhancing the City’s delivery of services such as Traffic Safety.
