Hi Leduc! 👋

After a busy Halloween weekend, things are a little quieter around town — but there are still some worthwhile reasons to get out and connect with the community.

Families can start Thursday morning with a special reading program at the Leduc Public Library, athletes from across Alberta are coming to Leduc for a provincial fencing competition this weekend, and Remembrance Day is approaching next Wednesday.

Here’s your quick Leduc guide for November 5–8, plus one important date to put on the calendar.

📚👮 THU, NOV. 5 — READ with the RCMP at Leduc Public Library

☕❤️ THU, NOV. 5 — Free Thursday Drop-In Coffee at Telford House

🤺 SAT–SUN, NOV. 7–8 — Alberta Open fencing competition at the LRC

🌺 COMING WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11 — Leduc Remembrance Day services

Here’s a Thursday morning activity for families with young children.

READ with the RCMP brings children and local RCMP officers together at the Leduc Public Library for reading and positive community connection.

The idea is simple: give children an opportunity to interact with local officers in a friendly setting while encouraging early literacy.

📅 Thursday, Nov. 5

⏰ 10–10:45 AM

📍 Leduc Public Library
2 Alexandra Park, Leduc

The City of Leduc identifies this as a City-hosted event at the Leduc Public Library, with the RCMP participating through the READ program.

Here’s a recurring local activity worth remembering.

The Leduc & District Senior Centre welcomes people for its free Thursday Drop-In Coffee.

📅 Thursday

⏰ 10 AM–2 PM

📍 Telford House
4907 46 Street, Leduc

☕ Free

It’s a simple opportunity to stop in, have a coffee and spend some time connecting with others in the community.

Something a little different is happening at the Leduc Recreation Centre this weekend.

Fencers from around the province are coming to Leduc for the 2026 Alberta Open — Alberta Cup #2.

📅 Saturday, Nov. 7

📅 Sunday, Nov. 8

📍 Leduc Recreation Centre
4330 Black Gold Drive

The competition includes multiple fencing events and age categories.

❤️ WHO’S MAKING IT HAPPEN

The Alberta Fencing Association’s official event information identifies Nova Pentathlon, Sergei’s Sabre Club and Wildrose Fencing Club as hosts of the 2026 Alberta Open.

That’s exactly the kind of community partnership worth recognizing when an event brings athletes and families into Leduc.

Next Wednesday, Leduc will pause to remember those who served, those who continue to serve and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Leduc Legion Branch No. 108 is hosting Leduc’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

⏰ 9:45 AM

📍 Leduc Civic Centre Cenotaph
1 Alexandra Park

⏰ 10:30 AM

📍 Leduc Recreation Centre Fieldhouse
4330 Black Gold Drive

The City also says the service will be available by livestream for people unable to attend in person.

Poppies are available at locations around Leduc leading up to November 11.

Not every weekend needs a huge calendar.

Sometimes community looks like sitting down for a coffee.

Sometimes it’s a child reading with a police officer.

Sometimes it’s welcoming athletes and families into Leduc for a weekend competition.

And sometimes it means taking a few moments to remember the people who served before us.

Those smaller connections matter too.

Are you involved with a local nonprofit, community organization, small business or upcoming event?

We’d love to hear about it.

We can’t include every submission in every edition, but we’ll continue doing our best to share useful, positive stories and events from across Leduc.

Thanks for reading and being part of The Positive Pulse of Leduc. ❤️

Have a great weekend!
