Alberta Avenue Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (+) (MMIWG+) Parks Project

The Alberta Avenue Community League is currently in the process of developing four neighbourhood parks into a public space that will honour missing and murdered women and girls, many of whom have called our neighbourhood home or disappeared from our neighbourhood.

The main park for this project (currently designated by the City as "Alberta Avenue Park 4") is located at the north-west corner of 121 Avenue and 90 Street (across 90 Street from Delton School) with three smaller additional parks to the west of it (officially known by the City as "Alberta Avenue Park 5", "Alberta Avenue Park 7" and "Alberta Avenue Park 8") being transformed to create a processional approach to the main park.

This project is still in its very early stages, with much more consultation and work to be done over the coming years before it is completed, however some infrastructure improvements may be added as early as summer 2021 as part of the scheduled neighbourhood renewal process (see below for the Neighbourhood Renewal Vision Statement) .

The MMIWG+ Parks Project is currently being overseen by a committee consisting of both indigenous and non-indigenous voices from within Alberta Avenue as well as Edmonton as a whole.
