Supporting our local craft beer scene is easy with so many fantastic opportunities and creative brewers. I recently had the opportunity to convene a table of local brewers alongside the Alberta Small Brewers Association to explore a few questions:
The more money we can keep circulating between friends and neighbours in our local economy, the more prosperous our city. Local brewers add to our local identity, they add creativity, and can be an attraction for other entrepreneurs to set up nearby.
Thank you again to:
This unprecedented event park/CRL extension should be put forward to taxpayers as a municipal referendum this upcoming municipal election and I will be moving a motion to advance this opportunity.
Wherever we are in the city, we all deserve to feel and be safe. Public health is a foundation of public safety. When people feel healthy and experience less pain, they are more likely to contribute positively to the community.
Over the last year, every week on Tuesday, the city of Edmonton and public health partners have set up a pop-up health clinic in west Edmonton, to take care of people experiencing homelessness. In addition to health improvements, clinic presence has contributed to a stronger sense of safety in the area, with fewer visible health crises and less gang-related activity reported.
Housing statistics show that Edmonton is slowly curbing urban sprawl. However, the majority of units are still homes built outside of the Henday. For anyone who is concerned about property taxes, air quality, or traffic, these stats should continue to ring alarm bells.
With population expected to grow 3.1% in 2025 thanks to Premier Smith's "Alberta is Calling" campaign, where are new people going to live and what does that mean for our city budget?
