For Edmonton to thrive, we need city council with qualities as those embodied by “PACE candidates”. Policies that prioritize accountability, community support, and economic growth. Effective governance requires transparency, fiscal responsibility, and a commitment to making Edmonton a great place to live and do business. The right policies will ensure that our city council remains open, fair, and dedicated to progress.
True Accountability
A strong city starts with accountable leadership. Policies should enforce transparency in decision-making, requiring clear reporting on budgets, spending, and council activities. Elected officials must be held responsible for their actions, with mechanisms for public oversight and consequences for mismanagement or unethical behavior.
Support for Citizens and Communities
Edmonton’s strength comes from its people. Policies should prioritize essential services like housing, public safety, and infrastructure while supporting community-led initiatives. Investments in local programs, social services, and neighborhood development will create a stronger, more connected city.
Making Edmonton Open for Business
A thriving economy depends on a business-friendly environment. Policies should reduce red tape for entrepreneurs, streamline permitting processes, and offer incentives for small businesses and job creation. Lowering unnecessary barriers to business growth will drive investment and ensure a prosperous future for Edmonton.
Transparent and Responsible Budgeting
Taxpayer dollars should be spent wisely. City council policies must focus on fiscal responsibility, ensuring that budgets are balanced and funds are allocated efficiently. By eliminating wasteful spending and focusing on high-impact projects, Edmonton can grow without burdening residents with excessive taxes.
Collaboration and Engagement
A responsive city council must actively engage with the community. Policies should promote open dialogue, encourage public participation in decision-making, and ensure that residents’ voices are heard.
With the right policies in place, Edmonton can move forward with confidence, creating a city that is accountable, supportive, and open for business. Now is the time for change.
