The fonds consists of records both collected and created by the ERRS.

The collected records include ‘cancelled notices’ likely from the office of the Superintendant of the Edmonton Radial Railway. These notices cover a variety of topics and issues, including behavior of drivers, changes to routes and services, driving instructions, repairs to trolley cars and employee events. These records reflect the daily operations of the Edmonton Radial Railway.

The records created by the ERRS include proposals for buildings at Fort Edmonton Park, correspondence, and the group’s newsletter ‘The Trip Sheet’.

The photograph was used for an Edmonton Historical Board award given to the ERRS in 1990.

The executive committee was responsible for many of the initiatives undertaken by the League such as the Street Signs Project and organizing the programs that took place at the Centre. This series contains minutes, reports, correspondence, grant applications, contracts, newsletters, and programmes. These records provide context for the Community League’s role within the community and within Edmonton as a city. Also included are documents concerning leasing of the Garneau Community Centre to Catalyst Theatre.

The profits derived from these events go towards funding the League’s service delivery. It was with the proceeds that the League funded building the Garneau Community Centre. These records include licenses, volunteer lists, financial reports, minutes, and correspondence. Also included are materials related to the South Edmonton Bingo Association.

This series contains material relating to the planning, funding, and construction of the Garneau Community Centre (now City Arts Centre) in 1980. The Centre was designed by Thorkelsson Architects and managed by Wilkinson Construction. Many different contractors were involved as well. In 1990, the Centre was leased to Catalyst Theatre and other tenants. In 1997 the City of Edmonton took control of the building as the new site of the City Arts Centre. Records include maps, plans, minutes, budgets, financial reports, correspondence, progress reports, and contracts.

This series consists of records concerning the operations and functions of the Garneau Tennis Club. The Tennis Club was one of the five original committees when the Garneau Community League was incorporated in 1962. Like the Lawn Bowling Club, the Tennis Club held a degree of independence from the rest of the Garneau Community League. That independence was somewhat curtailed in the late 1970s due to a change in Provincial Law regarding the way financial reporting was to be conducted. This series contains membership lists, financial statements, newsletters, correspondence, and minutes.
