Mark it on your calendar and keep it in mind as you pack away the winter goods and pull out the summer!
Get details on how to participate here: https://www.glenelm.ca/glenelm-neighbourhood-garage-sale/
Pssst! Not interested in hosting a sale but have items in good condition to donate? There will be a community sale table in support of GeNA again. Details in the link above.
On Sunday, April 28th, GeNA will be hosting our 8th annual Glenelm Spring Cleanup.
As we do every year, we’ll be picking up litter that has accumulated in our back lanes, front boulevards and parks over the winter. Henderson is looking pretty rough this year too, so we’ll plan to dispatch some teams there as well.
If you’d like to come out and help make Glenelm a little cleaner and tidier, meet us at the Big Red Church (127 Cobourg Ave) at 1pm, Sunday, April 28th.
We’ll provide bags, gloves, pickers, and some light snacks – just bring your energy! We’ll also go over some safety instructions before heading out.
It’s not a glamourous job, but it makes a big difference in our neighbourhood, and is a great way to connect and hang out with your neighbours. We hope to see lots of new faces out there!
In the event of rain or poor weather, we’ll send any changes via the GeNA website and email newsletter.
We are so excited about the huge roster of upcoming events this spring and summer – brought to you by GeNA and our neighbourhood partners and friends! Watch your mailbox for a handy flyer version you can put on your fridge, and we will send out event details via email/website as they become available.

Back by popular request, it’s the second annual Glenelm Trivia Night!!
Last year’s event nearly sold out and was given rave reviews, so on Saturday, April 27, 2024 we’ll be hosting another night of fun, laughter, and community building.
Visit the event page for all the details: https://www.glenelm.ca/glenelm-trivia-night/
Hope to see you there!
In case you missed it: our 2023 Annual Report to the Community is now available.
It’s a celebration of all the special events and initiatives that we’re able to pull off when we work together and with our neighbours throughout Elmwood.
Along with event recaps, you will find reports from the Glenelm Garden Club, Glenelm Tree Committee, and Reimagine Elmwood Coalition. Also included are GeNA’s financials and thank-yous to the many people and partners who help us throughout the year!
Sadly, this year’s Elmwood Winter Fun Day, scheduled for February 10, 2024, has been cancelled due to uncooperative weather.
A big thank-you to all those who were involved with planning and were preparing to volunteer.
Let’s cross our fingers for better winter weather next year!
Here is the official map of registered addresses in the 7th Annual Glenelm Snow Sculpture Challenge (we know there are even more sculptures out there, too!)
Grab the printable PDF version of the map here.
A big thank-you to all who sculpted…you’ve brought a lot of joy to the neighbourhood this weekend! We’ve entered all the registered addresses into the draw for participation prizes. We’ll be drawing for the prizes at the Winter Warmer potluck and AGM later today. If we draw your address and you’re not there, we’ll be in touch over the next few days to arrange a prize drop-off.
Photos will added to the website and shared via the newsletter ASAP!
A big thanks to Mother Nature for at last bringing us an ample supply of snow. It’s exactly what we needed to be able to schedule the 7th Annual Glenelm Snow Sculpture Challenge. We were getting worried there for a bit 🙂
Start thinking about what you’ll create out of snow or ice in your front yard on Saturday, January 27th, 2024.
As always, all sculptures will be entered into a draw for tons of participation prizes and our neighbourhood will be transformed into a snowy art gallery!
So show us your best snow creations! There is no judging – all ages and skill levels are encouraged, and there are dozens of chances for you to win a prize just by participating! Plus, it’ll be lots of fun, we promise!
It’s completely free to participate, but be sure to fill out the short registration form so that we can include you on our map and enter you in the prize draw.

Huge thanks to our sponsors, who make this event possible:
The Glenelm Family Playgroup will be resuming on Wednesday, January 31st!
This is an informal weekly stay-and-play group every Wednesday morning from 10:30-11:30 in the basement of The Big Red Church. Come and connect with other parents and caregivers, and give your little one some space to get out some of that delightful, wiggley energy!
A few things to note:
We look forward to connecting and playing together! Email any questions to Janessa at glenelmplaygroup@gmail.com
