The Avenue Documentary

For the past year, independent filmmaker, Jaimie Clements has turned her attention to capturing and recording the events and stories behind the movement to transform 118th Avenue.

What would you do if the neighborhood you lived in was neglected, run down and had a tarnished image of being ridden with crime, drugs and prostitution? ‘The Avenue’ follows a group of people who live in such an area as they try to make a difference (118th Avenue in Edmonton). How can they change the reality and image of their neighborhood and will they be able to succeed? What effect will their actions have? ‘The Avenue’ features Christy Morin of Arts on the Ave, Chris Hayduk of CRUD – Community Response to Urban Disorder, local residents – Barbara Heather, Jo-Ann Siebert, Cindy Burgess and Carla Meyer, social worker – Kris Andreychuk, and commentary from ‘Neighbor Power’ author – Jim Diers.

The Avenue is still in production but here’s a little glimpse of what to expect:

Demolition Order of Cromdale Hotel Upheld in Court

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 13:59:19 +0000

The Court of Queen’s Bench has sided with a City of Edmonton order to demolish the Cromdale Hotel in the city’s northeast (82 Street, 118 Avenue).

The City had issued a demolition order a year ago (October 23, 2009) on the basis that the Cromdale, vacant since 2004, was in an unsightly condition and was detrimental to the surrounding neighbourhood.

The owner appealed the order, but the City’s Community Standards and Licence Appeal Committee agreed with the demolition order (March 12, 2010); that decision was upheld in a ruling released today by the Court of Queen’s Bench.

“This is a win for the city and for the neighbourhood around the Cromdale,” says Ryan Pleckaitis, Acting Director, Complaints and Investigation Section, Community Standards Branch. “We’re pleased that the Justice agreed with our position that demolition was the only viable alternative to alleviate the detriment to the surrounding area.”

“The Cromdale has been the site of illegal activity for some time,” Pleckaitis adds, “and the building has undergone significant physical deterioration. We need to be able to create and enforce conditions that make for a safe and livable community.”

The Municipal Government Act authorizes the city to issue demolition orders against property owners in appropriate circumstances.

The owner of the Cromdale can still appeal to the Alberta Court of Appeal.
