Membership

If you reside in the Yellowbird, Keheewin or Bearspaw neighborhoods, you are welcome to become a member of the Yellowbird East Community League. Membership is required for participating in the majority of the programs that we offer. Your membership fees go directly to support our community league’s operating costs like the community sports and recreation programs. We also engage in separate fund raising activities and apply for grants to support capital projects like park developments or hall constructions.
