Season's greetings all!As the cold weather settles in, I've been reflecting on the many City services that help us make it through the winter. There are a number of resources that I wanted to take the time to highlight. Earlier this year, City Council approved funding for an Assisted Snow Removal program. If you are a senior on low income or have a disability or mobility challenge, you can apply for help clearing your sidewalks. For more information, please visit edmonton.ca or contact my office.

On July 1, 2023, we celebrated Canada’s 156th birthday, with fireworks, gatherings, and concerts held here in Edmonton to recognize the event. I recalled bits and pieces of Canada’s Centennial in 1967.
