"This increase corresponds with growth in the number of people living unsheltered or in temporary shelters in our city, which reached 2,468 in 2024, & an increase in enforcement [by Edmonton Police Service & City] against homeless encampments."

Edmonton has had a disturbingly high number of frostbite amputations the last two winters. With freezing temps on the way, both the City and the Government of Alberta must do more to prevent people from freezing in the cold. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #yegcc

Very happy city council has put funds towards a day shelter. Issue with @HopeMission & other current options are they in my 3xperience are judgemental and throw God into your face. Staffing issues & tolerance towards vulnerable persons isn't in my opinion at a satisfactory level. #abpoli #yegcc

Re-filling my ARC card was a breeze.
The classical music is back at Corona Station & pedway is clean.

One of our (newly elected) City Council's first orders of business was to *unanimously* approve $1 million to expand access to day shelter space in Edmonton. 👏🏻

It means that more Edmontonians will enjoy safer communities.

It means less pressure on workers in our libraries and public spaces.

And it means that we’re building a stronger Edmonton, together, by supporting those who need it the most.

The sheer irony of this loser running for city council on a "Clean up the City" slogan, spamming the public spaces of the ward with his signs, and then never coming to pick up all of his litter after the election. #yegcc

(No relation to Sir Patrick Stewart.)
A yellow and green campaign sign illegally placed too close to a roadway on a public boulevard. Certain graphic design choices were definitely made in its composition. It reads "Clean up the City – Clean up Council" at the top. In the middle, in a weird clutter of elements, it reads, "Patrick Stewart.ca". At the bottom it reads in tiny letters, "Ward O-Day'min" on the left, and "For Councillor" on the right.

If you had asked many political watchers six months ago who was going to be Edmonton’s next mayor, they would have told you that there was hunger for change.

Instead, Edmonton got the opposite.

While cycling my husband flagged that since Wellington Bridge closed, cars are short-cutting & driving too fast on this back alley by 132 St to get to Glenora Cres. Vert dangerous!

Temporary speed bumps can help divert back onto 104 Ave. #yegCC #yegConstruction #yegBike
A Google Maps screenshot of a back alley between 132 Street and Glenora Cres in Edmonton. The back alley is circled in red. A Google maps streetview image of the back alley between 132 Street and Glenora Cres in Edmonton. It's quite narrow so cars definitely should not zip through here.
