Presented by Councillor Andrew Knack, you’re invited to participate in the first ever Community Connector on Saturday, February 1st 2020 from 1:30PM-3:30PM at the Westend Seniors Activity Centre (9629 176 St NW). Community Connector is an opportunity for citizens to share what they believe their community strengths to be and what we can do collectively to improve our communities while learning about local organizations. As well, there will be a presentation from Police Chief McFee on Community Safety, with closing remarks from REACH’s Jan Fox. Organizations that service Ward 1 and all of Edmonton will be there to participate in the event discussions as an integrated approach to strengthen capacity for collaboration. We hope this event is a step forward in creating a community that is better connected and that will better support each other as a place for business, public service and growth. After Community Connector, Jasper Place Revitalization will be hosting a community building workshop that all attendees are welcome to stay for. Mainly the workshop will be looking at the wider community, its benefits, its distinct characteristics and importance within the larger city. These events are an opportunity to:

At the request of City Council, the Ward Boundary Commission is seeking input from community stakeholders and Edmonton residents to support the development of a set of recommendations regarding the design of municipal electoral ward boundaries.
Edmonton is divided into twelve electoral wards, each represented by a City Councillor. Wards are designed using the criteria outlined in the Ward Boundary Design Policy (City Policy 469A). As described in the Policy Statement, “clear, distinct and easily identifiable ward boundaries are essential to the municipal election process. Ward boundary design should also respect the democratic principle of “one-person, one-vote” by striving to keep ward populations substantially equal.” Significant residential development has led to population increases in some areas of the city. In January, 2019, land was annexed from Leduc County and the City of Beaumont, extending the municipal boundary south. These changes mean that the existing boundaries of some wards may no longer align with the criteria described in the Ward Boundary Design Policy. In June, 2019, City Council established a Ward Boundary Commission, the first in Edmonton’s history, to conduct a comprehensive review of the current ward boundary structure and Ward Boundary Design Policy. The Commission will submit a report to City Council in 2020, providing a set of recommendations that could lead to adjustments to the existing boundaries and amendments to the Design Policy. The Review is entering a broader phase of public engagement. A dedicated project website, involved.edmonton.ca/wardreview, provides information on the Review and outlines the opportunities for community stakeholders to share their advice and feedback with the Commission. An online survey, available on the Review web page, invites participants to:
Drop-in public engagement sessions begin this week. The full schedule can be found on involved.edmonton.ca/wardreview. These sessions offer an opportunity to review the mapping concepts, provide feedback, and discuss the project with Commission members, and project facilitators and administrators. As valued stakeholders, we hope to see you there. If you would like further information, please contact wardboundaryreview@edmonton.ca Sincerely, Jared Wesley Chair, Ward Boundary Commission

Stormwater Facilities have become popular recreation hotspots in Edmonton and this is not good practice. These facilities have a job to do; they are an important part of the stormwater drainage infrastructure in the city and help prevent flooding during severe weather events and by collecting run off from city streets. Water moves through these facilities throughout the year creating instability and when combined with the substances that are washed into the facility from the streets they become dangerous. Recreation on these facilities is prohibited, although it is not widely recognized. Families should find safe winter recreation alternatives. EPCOR has compiled a list of safe skating sites in Edmonton, which can be searched on our website at epcor.com/safe-rinks.
