The Linden Woods Community Association was incorporated in 1990 pursuant to the Manitoba Corporations Act. The stated purpose of the Community Association is:
- to promote a positive identity for the Linden Woods Community
- to develop community spirit by the implementation of recreation, leisure, and environmental programs for the benefit of the residents of the Community
- to act as a liaison between the Community and various levels of government
- to act as a liaison between the Community and other organizations
- to act as a united voice on matters of concern to the members of the community
Since its inception, the Community Association has been very active in developing programs, activities, and events for the residents of Linden Woods, the most significant of which was persuading the City of Winnipeg and the Victoria Community Centre (our designated community centre at the time) to build a recreational facility within Linden Woods. Probably of equal importance was the development of our community newsletter, Linden Words, which is now in its fifteenth publication year.
Ongoing activities which have been developed over the years include the annual Christmas Craft Sale, the Linden Lights competition, Santa and the Wonderland Gang Christmas party, Come Wine With Us adult social, the curling Funspiel, and the community-wide Garage Sale. New in 2004, which we hope will be ongoing, are the Citizens On Patrol Program and the Linden Woods Run/Walk.
Other activities in past years, many of which ran for several years, include car rally, bike & blade rally, wine tasting, country fair, children's movie nights.
The constitution and by-laws of the Linden Woods Community Association were first proclaimed into force on November 26, 1990. Subsequent amendments were made in 1998, 1999, and 2006 to modify the structure of the Board, to change the fiscal year end, and to modify the quorum requirements.

The Linden Woods Community Association is governed by the same Board as the Linden Woods Community Centre as of March 2007.
