Hello! I'm Erin Rutherford, and it's an honor to represent you on Edmonton City Council.
I was first elected to Council in October 2021, and this second term continues to be an immense honour to serve the more than 94,000 people that call Ward Anirniq home. My work is grounded in unwavering commitments to honesty, accessibility, and serving our ward with clarity and care.
I'm passionate about building a strong, connected, and sustainable community. This has shaped my education and career in public engagement, social planning and community development. With over 20 years experience in public service, I’ve worked hard with and for communities.
I take great pride in advocating for the things that make our communities great, embracing our diversity, and celebrating our collective strengths.
Engaging with residents in respectful and transparent conversations is something I really enjoy. I want to make sure that as your Councillor, I’m a bridge between policy and people, making decisions based on facts and lived experience.
This term I am appointed to the following boards:
- Edmonton Public Library Board
- Edmonton Arts Council Advisor
Standing Committees:
- Audit Committee
- Infrastructure Committee
Rotating Committees:
