ABOUT US
.
Welcome to the DECL,
the Downtown Edmonton Community League. Our board and committees are comprised of volunteers who live or work in
the downtown area. They represent downtown residents in matters of development, parks, policies and other issues
as well as planning and arranging community activities in the downtown core.
Downtown Edmonton is a great place to "live, learn, work and play" and residency is expanding at an unprecedented
rate with the ever-increasing redevelopment. We hope that you'll support our sponsors, join the community league,
and have a say in downtown community issues that affect you.
Please telephone or e-mail us if you have any concerns.

Downtown Edmonton sits on
the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River, bordered on the west by the domed, granite and sandstone Legislative
Building, and on the east by the castle-like Hotel MacDonald. There are many place to shop and eat including the
City Centre Mall. The Area around Sir Winston Churchill Square is called the Arts District. The Winspear Centre
for Music, the Citadel Theater for performing arts, the Art Gallery of Alberta, and the Stanley Milner Library
are world-class facilities you can find there.
Sir Winston Churchill Square, a park in the core of downtown, is a favourite hangout of the office crowd and weekend
fun seekers. The square hosts many of the city's festivals, and is the "front yard" of the glass pyramid-topped
City Hall.
Jasper Avenue is home to many of Edmonton's oldest heritage buildings and some of Edmonton's tallest office towers,
including Canadian Western Bank Place and Scotia Place. It is also home to trendy restaurants and bars. Chinatown
is just a few blocks from downtown. Enclosed pedestrian walkways called "pedways," both underground and
overhead, connect most of the downtown buildings. There is lots to do and see downtown.
