If you're unfamiliar with the Edgemont Beautification Project, it's a community initiative focused on improving appearance via landscaping, plantings and maintenance throughout Edgemont.
These upgraded maintenance programs make a significant difference in communities. Hamptons, Citadel and most recently Hawkwood, all have them in place and they have really made a big difference in those communities. Possible improvements listed on the petition website are as follows:
- Raised planting beds
- Cement pots
- Mowing
- Watering
- Flowers
- Fertilizer
- Shrubs/grasses
- Trees
- Litter control
- Weed management
There are now more than 100 volunteer committee members and canvassers actively working together on the project, and the support continues to grow. Legislation requires that 67% of Edgemont homeowners sign a petition to put in place the LEAF program. Over 3200 homeowners have already signed the petition in support, which is 90% of our goal. We must obtain 3600 signatures for LEAF to be approved. Other supporters include the Edgemont Community Association, councilor Sean Chu, and a variety of local businesses.

Remember opposers to this LEAF Program may one day sell their houses. We don't need flowers to add value to our properties in a tax levy imposed indefinitely on homeowners. We already pay taxes for the City to do its job. A group is already appealing this Special Tax Levy (big money grab) and anyone wanting their names removed from LEAF petition should contact Stephen Webster at 403- 455-8018 or weaver@shaw.ca Thank you.
