Principled Accountable Coalition for Edmonton
Setting the PACE for a new, effective City Council. Now!
Bridge closures! Tax increases! Radical zoning changes! LRT safety! Join PACE and let's do something about all of it!
Become a PACESETTEREdmonton's FIRST municipal political party
PACE (Principled Accountable Coalition for Edmonton) is the first new political party formed under the recent legislative changes allowing parties in municipal politics. This follows the historic merger between PACE and TAPYeg.
Our goal is to unite common sense, practical, fiscally prudent, community-focused voices across Edmonton and offer voters a team of City Council candidates we can all support and be proud of.
PACE candidates believe in Value for Taxes, Community Safety, being Open for Business, First Things First and being Accountable to You. Isn't it time that the entire Council felt like that? By electing PACE councillors, our city will be transformed. Election day is October 20, 2025.
The first word in our name is Principled!
These are the five guiding principles foundational to PACE.
Value for taxes
Let’s be honest and realistic about the fiscal capabilities of our city. And let’s apply basic cost controls over both capital and operating budgets.
Safety and security
Without this we cannot build and share our community with others. Some glaring problems need cooperative community-based solutions.
Open for business
Our purpose is to enable your good ideas. PACE believes in creating a welcoming culture for new enterprise.
First things first
Let’s concentrate on achieving excellence in delivery of core services. Do the basics well and avoid getting distracted.
Accountable to you
PACE will transform the current sham of “engagement” to actually mean something. Citizens need to be heard; legitimate concerns must be heeded.

Our Path to Victory
We're working hard to get ready for the October 20, 2025 election. Learn more about our plan to elect a principled, common sense party to Edmonton City Hall.
PACE is Alberta’s first official municipal party! This historic achievement provides the vehicle to bring about significant change to City Hall.
Principled Accountable Coalition for Edmonton Association is a registered Alberta society and will conduct its formal affairs under the regulations established by provincial legislation.
PACE is recruiting a field of candidates that will provide Edmonton voters with an impressive team of committed, fiscally prudent, experienced, and dedicated individuals. They will be introduced following a formal nomination process.
Our party is developing the team and the tools required to win the fall election and elect a team of common sense voices for Edmonton City Council.
On Election Day, October 20, PACE will be ready to fight and win. We need a PACE majority of councillors who can bring common sense back to Edmonton.

PACE believes that local community involvement is a fundamental aspect of creating accountability in our elected representatives.
Having a ward association involved in candidate selection, campaigning and post-election communications is unique to the political party structure.
The leaders of these ward associations are PACESETTERS. Find out more at an upcoming PACESETTER meeting.
