From the Wikipedia article
The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL) is a non-profit organization that acts as an administrative body to support community leagues throughout Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and is officially recognized by city council as the coordinating body for all community leagues in the city. In Edmonton, almost every residential community has a corresponding community league (for a total of 157 community leagues as of 2017). The federation's intentions are to support these community organizations though funding assistance, running seminars/workshops, sport/activity organization, running events/contests, providing a common code of ethics, advocating to the municipal government on behalf of all community leagues, and providing a unified structure for the sales of Edmonton community league memberships, among other things. The community league code of ethics is composed of moral obligations with the purpose of upholding the integrity of all community leagues in Edmonton, defining community league obligations and assisting the operating efficiency of all leagues. The EFCL board of directors is composed of community league representatives from eight districts within the city.
