The City has ramped up efforts to address the housing and houselessness emergency via a variety of avenues. Let’s look at some of the city actions going towards this.
Let’s discuss what’s being done to address traffic safety in Edmonton.
Violence is complex and often stems from compounding underlying issues. This is why we need a holistic approach that balances interventions for our current needs with strategies for sustained systemic change.

Shovelling can be a pain in the back for even the youngest, fittest folks, so how can we ensure that Edmontonians with mobility issues and seniors with low incomes aren’t left behind and penalized for snowy, icy sidewalks?
Last year, our population rose to 1.2 million! In the last three years, Edmonton has welcomed an estimated 170,000 new people, and the trend of substantial population increases is expected to continue in the coming years. This rapid growth presents the City with both opportunities and challenges.
