Parking ban starts tomorrow, January 12th, as snow plows start clearing residential neighbourhoods. Please ensure your vehicle is moved so our crews can do their job. For more information: edmonton.ca/transportation/o…

Yes! Carney has done nothing to help Canada 🇨🇦. He’d rather globetrot for useless photo ops.

"I didn’t see a snow plow during my drive, are City crews working?" That’s a question I occasionally get asked and the answer is yes. Instead of driving around to try and find our City crews, you can see them using the @CityofEdmonton’s online map. They are working 24/7 every single day. Yes, they were even busy working on Christmas Day. Learn more in the video. #yeg #yegcc

Ten years ago today, Canadians chose a more hopeful path. I’ll never forget that night in 2015. The energy, the optimism, and the belief that together, we could build a better future. A decade later, we’ve lifted hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty, strengthened and grown the middle class, built a $10-a-day child care system, led the fight against climate change, advanced reconciliation, and made Canada more inclusive and fair for everyone. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who was part of this journey and believed that better is always possible. 🇨🇦

Four years ago, we set out with a vision: to build an Edmonton for all of us. A city full of joy, opportunity and hope, a place where everyone can feel like they belong, where services are accessible and fair. And an anti-racist Edmonton, because I believe that true inclusion must be intentional. Thank you to Edmontonians, partners and stakeholders. From non-profits to community organizations, businesses and cultural institutions. Together we tackled emergency housing, homelessness, reconciliation, anti-racism, transit, safety, downtown revitalization, climate action, public spaces and more. What we accomplished together: ▪️More than doubled our shelter capacity and improved standards of care for our most vulnerable neighbours. ▪️We worked to secure funding and forge relationships with the province in downtown investment, new police officers, more funding for Homeward Trust, and finally - we got the Province to pay their taxes. ▪️We made public safety a priority, expanding Transit Peace Officers and building crisis diversion teams that make an incredible difference every day. ▪️We advanced reconciliation, Indigenous-led housing, and anti-racism initiatives because justice and equity are intentional and now foundational parts of our government. ▪️We enhanced our parks, revitalized recreation access, and reimagined downtown vibrancy, showing the world the beauty and the power of Edmonton on the world stage. Each of these successes, are about more than just line items on a report. These are lives changed for the better. Policies only matter when they represent the people they serve. I am deeply proud of our work with Indigenous leaders and communities. Together, we have signed historic memorandums of understanding with multiple nations including MOUs on Indigenous housing. The City of Edmonton is more committed to reconciliation than ever. I am confident in Edmonton's capacity to care for one another, to rise to new challenges, and to continue to build a city where everyone belongs. If I leave you with anything, know that this was the privilege of my life to serve my community as your Mayor, and I am deeply grateful for all the support and progress we have made together.
