Transition Parkallen

summer film and discussion series

June 29: What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire.
“Elegant and almost poetic in tone, What a Way To Go gently takes us by the hand as it explains to us the harsh reality of how things really are, where they’re likely to go, and how difficult the challenge is.”

July 6: Escape from Suburbia
"Meet ordinary people making extraordinary choices as they tackle the key issues facing us today -- the rising cost and supply of energy, the roller-coaster economy, and the faded memories of the [North] American Dream."

July 13: Money as Debt I & II
"Two short animated documentary films about the monetary systems practiced through modern banking. Film 1 visually demonstrates the process of money creation by private corporations (banks).  Film 2 examines the crash of 2008 and resulting taxpayer bailouts.  Both fims superbly demystify the financial system."

July 20: In Transition 1.0
"Presents the Transition Town model of community organizing to address the triple threat of climate change, peak oil, and global financial instability."

All events are at the Parkallen Community Hall, 11104 65 AVE NW, 
Edmonton, at 7 pm.  Admission is free.   Contact Robert Kirchner 
kirchner@parkallen.ca, 780 438-2287) for more information.

The GO Community Centre is a non-profit organization committed to building a unique, world-class recreation facility focused on serving individuals, families and league teams in the Capital Region. This community-based, multi-use, recreation and sports complex will be built on the University of Alberta’s South Campus, to the west of Saville Centre, easily accessible from the new South Campus LRT station.  All three orders of government recognize the GO Centre as an essential part of our community health and infrastructure and have made significant financial commitments to the Centre.

Here are some interesting facts about the GO Community Centre:

  • Nine basketball courts
  • Nine volleyball courts
  • Approximately 20,000 square feet of gymnastics space
  • A spectator gym with seating for 2800

Our playground is loved and extremely well used by the children in our community, the local school, the local day-care, the local preschool, and families in neighbouring communities as well.  Children who, at whatever age, never seem to tire of going to their local playground.
