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.

UCP Must require shelters outside of Edmonton: The Premier must tell regional mayors to stop sending their residents to Edmonton and start welcoming them back home.

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.
