  • Summary

  • In the second episode of A Little Bit Ritchie, we trace the history of the Community League Movement in Edmonton all the way back to Rochester, New York. This discussion involves a few of Edmonton’s early hardships. We touch on the Social Center Movement and two notable Edmontonians, Jessie F. Montgomery and George M. Hall. Then, the conversation moves to Edmonton’s first League, the Crestwood Community League. This discussion includes a brief segment on the Vacant Lot Gardening Movement. We quickly touch on the formation of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues. Finally, we focus on the Ritchie Community League and some of its early endeavours and recreational activities, including Whist, Winter Carnivals, and Bingo.   For detailed show notes and a transcription of this episode, visit https://www.ritchie-league.com/a-little-bit-ritchie-blog/episode-02   Our theme music is Twin Ponds by Hemlock  https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/twin-ponds License code: EILTV5BS5BQL2QHR
