The Top 50 Edmonton Bylaw complaints by volume to 311 in 2025

If you guessed parking, you might be correct. This list highlights the case for proactive, automated traffic enforcement such as the program in Calgary. I understand our city administration is talking with provincial officials and we hope to have an update on automated parking enforcement at our June 9th Urban Planning Committee.

The proposed Edmonton City Budget will be released on Monday (November 2nd, 2026) via edmonton.ca/budget

As City Council heads towards our budget debates later this fall, we get another opportunity to show how serious we are about our economic resilience and our commitment to keeping taxes reasonable while we serve Edmontonians. I’ve thought long and hard about this and I’m happy to share my plan to keep Edmonton on a sound fiscal path.

New data from the City administration highlights that there are almost no shelters and an incredibly limited amount of affordable housing in the region outside of Edmonton. While the capital region has a combined population of close to 1.5 million, the 1.1 million Edmonton taxpayers are covering the region's costs. 

I have put in a request to have Nakba Day recognized as a protocol item under Council Recognition this coming May:

Nakba Day is commemorated annually on May 15. It marks the beginning of the destruction of the Palestinian homeland, and the mass displacement in 1948 of the majority of the Palestinian population. Nakba means ‘catastrophe’ in Arabic and is the word used by Palestinians and others to refer to this historic moment.
