All aboard the spook-tacular Valley Line Southeast LRT! 🚆 This Halloween, I’m rolling into the festivities as our long-anticipated new LRT line. Don’t let me derail your fun, but remember, safety comes first! Whether you’re out trick or treating tonight or are taking public transit to a Halloween party - look out for one another out there! See tracks, expect a train. 👀 Mark your calendars, because the Valley Line SE LRT opens on Nov 4th - no tricks, just treats! Happy Halloween, #YEG. 🎃 👻🍬

The Provincial Priorities Act creates unnecessary complexity and red tape. This legislation will stifle economic growth, stall infrastructure projects and cause investor uncertainty. The added barrier will slow down investment and hurt our ability to keep up with growth. Municipalities are getting caught in the middle of a fight between the province and the federal government. I will be reaching out to other public sector organizations and impacted stakeholders to discuss the impacts of this legislation. #yegcc

Four years ago, we set out with a vision: to build an Edmonton for all of us. A city full of joy, opportunity and hope, a place where everyone can feel like they belong, where services are accessible and fair. And an anti-racist Edmonton, because I believe that true inclusion must be intentional. Thank you to Edmontonians, partners and stakeholders. From non-profits to community organizations, businesses and cultural institutions. Together we tackled emergency housing, homelessness, reconciliation, anti-racism, transit, safety, downtown revitalization, climate action, public spaces and more. What we accomplished together: ▪️More than doubled our shelter capacity and improved standards of care for our most vulnerable neighbours. ▪️We worked to secure funding and forge relationships with the province in downtown investment, new police officers, more funding for Homeward Trust, and finally - we got the Province to pay their taxes. ▪️We made public safety a priority, expanding Transit Peace Officers and building crisis diversion teams that make an incredible difference every day. ▪️We advanced reconciliation, Indigenous-led housing, and anti-racism initiatives because justice and equity are intentional and now foundational parts of our government. ▪️We enhanced our parks, revitalized recreation access, and reimagined downtown vibrancy, showing the world the beauty and the power of Edmonton on the world stage. Each of these successes, are about more than just line items on a report. These are lives changed for the better. Policies only matter when they represent the people they serve. I am deeply proud of our work with Indigenous leaders and communities. Together, we have signed historic memorandums of understanding with multiple nations including MOUs on Indigenous housing. The City of Edmonton is more committed to reconciliation than ever. I am confident in Edmonton's capacity to care for one another, to rise to new challenges, and to continue to build a city where everyone belongs. If I leave you with anything, know that this was the privilege of my life to serve my community as your Mayor, and I am deeply grateful for all the support and progress we have made together.

Local issues are not partisan issues. I am opposed to establishing political parties at the municipal level. There are many pressing issues that require a collaborative approach to municipal governance, and local elected officials need to be able to work across partisan lines. Our Provincial government should focus on the issues that matter to Edmontonians, such as paying their fair share of property taxes, instead of these changes that will create division and more red tape. I sat down to share some of my thoughts. #yegcc
