Crime Prevention For the Community, By the Community
The Edmonton Neighbourhood Watch Program Society (ENW) warmly invites you to participate in the upcoming Walk Your Block Week 2025, running from Sunday, August 17 to Sunday, August 23, 2025.
This city-wide initiative is designed to foster community engagement and enhance
neighbourhood safety. Whether it’s a quick morning stroll or an evening walk with your pet, your presence alone can help deter crime, increase community awareness, and foster a stronger sense of connection between neighbours. You also have a chance to win a prize.
Why Participate?
Participating in Walk Your Block Week has several benefits, including:
● Strengthening the bonds within your community.
● Increased visibility and engagement which can reduce crime.
● Familiarization with your neighbourhood, recognize unusual activities, noticing things like burnt-out street lights, graffiti, or property damage and know who to contact.
● Stay fit and mentally alert through regular walking.
DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN HARM’S WAY. CALL 911 IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
How You Can Get Involved:
● Participate in Walk Your Block Week alone, with friends and family.
● Promote Walk Your Block Week. Share information about the event with your members through newsletters, social media, and community boards.
● Organize Local Walks. Encourage local residents to organize and participate in
neighbourhood walks during the Walk Your Block Week.
● Plan and Host a community event or gathering to coincide with Walk Your Block Week, such as a neighbourhood meet-up or safety workshop.
