At Edgemont Flats, Leston Holdings is working alongside residents, the Edgemont Community League and local partners to create a safer, more connected and welcoming neighbourhood.

Through the Community Animator Program at Edgemont Flats, residents have opportunities to connect through a book club, Little Library, community garden, Reuse Room, game nights and seasonal celebrations.

More than just social activities, these initiatives help build friendships, foster a sense of belonging and create a community where neighbours look out for one another.

Community safety is a shared priority at Edgemont Flats.

Our Resident Safety Committee brings together residents, Leston team members, the Community Animator and the City of Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Empowerment Team (NET) to address concerns and develop practical solutions that support a safer living environment. Edgemont Flats is also proud to be certified under the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, reinforcing our commitment to resident safety and community well-being.

Leston also collaborates with the Edmonton Police Service through initiatives such as Agent Status and the PANDA Project, while working toward the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Additional safety measures include live two-way video monitoring and overnight security coverage from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. While these initiatives play an important role, we believe that lasting community safety begins with connection.

Small Actions Make a Big Difference

Everyone has a role to play in building a stronger neighbourhood. Here are a few simple ways to get involved:

• Connect with your neighbours. A friendly hello can go a long way.

• Get involved. Attend community events, volunteer or join a local initiative.

• Look out for one another. Stay aware and check in on neighbours when appropriate.

• Speak up. Report concerns through the appropriate channels.

• Work together. Stronger communities happen when residents, businesses and community partners collaborate.

Stronger Communities Start With Us

Leston is proud to be an official partner and member of the Edgemont Community League, with our Portfolio Manager also serving on the League's Board.

Our involvement reflects a belief that being a good landlord means being a good neighbour.

By showing up, listening and working alongside our residents and community partners, we're helping build a stronger, safer and more connected Edgemont for everyone.

Because a great place to live is about more than where you live. It's about the community you call home.

Nearly 70 staff members gathered for Leston Holdings' very first Staff Appreciation Pancake Breakfast, a morning built entirely around saying thank you to the people who keep our properties, our tenants, and our company running every single day.

True to the spirit of a family-owned company, this wasn't a catered affair with leadership mingling from the sidelines. Our senior leadership team rolled up their sleeves and got to work at the griddle, cooking bacon, flipping pancakes, and crisping up hashbrowns for the team. Eggs were cooked to order, coffee kept flowing, and fresh fruit platters rounded out the spread.

Staff appreciation events like this one are about more than just a good breakfast. They're a chance to pause, connect across teams and departments, and recognize the people whose everyday work often goes unseen. For a company built on family values, moments like these are how we live out that identity, not just talk about it.

With turnout like this for our first event, it's safe to say the Staff Appreciation Pancake Breakfast will be an annual event that #TeamLeston will get to look forward to.

A big thank you to everyone who came out, and to our leadership team for putting appreciation into action, one pancake at a time!

Last week, Team Leston had the pleasure of welcoming more than 60 guests from the City of Edmonton and surrounding communities to our newest building and Head Office — the LESTON at 10310 116 Street. The afternoon was part of the BILD Edmonton Metro series, and despite a little rain, the turnout was a beautiful reminder of what community really looks like.

Building a home isn't just about walls and windows; it's about creating spaces where people genuinely feel they belong. When we open our doors to neighbours, local leaders, and fellow community members, we get to do something we love: listen, connect, and share the vision behind what we build.

The conversations that happened that afternoon, about housing, about neighbourhoods, about what makes a community thrive, are exactly the kind that inspire us to keep doing this work thoughtfully. Every detail in the LESTON was designed with people in mind, and getting to walk guests through that story in person means everything to us.

To everyone who came out: thank you. We're proud to be part of this community, and we look forward to many more moments like this one.
