These are not Edmonton numbers, but from what I have heard our statistics are very similar. This is a big concern and has huge impacts on our student health and quality of life.

How do we get more families back into the core of our city?
Nearly all of the schools in our Ward (Downtown, University, Southgate, Riverbend) have fewer and fewer families living in surrounding neighbourhoods. Fewer students in the catchment areas put our schools at an ongoing risk of closure now and in the future.
As citizens, this is economically inefficient as these neighbourhoods are built for families. We have billions of dollars of infrastructure in the core of our city (including our playgrounds, schools, parks and pools, libraries, and roadways) but there are fewer families moving into our neighbourhoods. What can we do to bring more families back into Ward F?
This event is organized for the neighbourhoods in Ward F:
Downtown – Westmount – Oliver – Downtown – Rossdale
U of A/Southgate – Windsor Park – Garneau – Strathcona – Belgravia – McKernan – Queen Alex – Allendale – Grandview Heights – Lansdowne – Lendrum – Malmo – Parkallen – Pleasantview – Empire Park
North Riverbend – Brander Gardens – Brookside – Bulyea Heights – Ramsay Heights – Rhatigan Ridge
All guests are welcome.
