Could be that I’m in the middle of a name change and my Bluesky still has my former surname.

Thanks for resharing folks!

Our Review of the Zoning Bylaw Amendments — Women's Advisory Voice of Edmonton WAVE wrote a letter to Edmonton City Council regarding our concerns with the lack of consultation with Advisory Committees or a thorough GBA Plus Analysis for the upcoming Zoning Bylaw Amendments.

I have such a difficult time hearing white privileged home owners complain about the impacts of density in their neighborhoods when I know the realities of the housing crisis & those on the verge of homelessness. This is part of why I spoke at city council today

That’s me! Thanks for sharing my perspective!

The nodes and corridors deception – Jacob Dawang In their report for the February 9 Urban Planning Committee, Administration claim that they expected a majority of redevelopment to occur in nodes and corridors. Is this moving the goalposts?

🧵 NEW POST: THE NODES AND CORRIDORS DECEPTION

Is Administration moving the goalposts to justify cutting housing options?

In their report for Feb 9, Administration used "majority" for the first time to describe what they expect from nodes corridors. #yegcc #yeg

A Celebration of Achievement and Farewell - Old Strathcona Business Association, Edmonton Celebrating and saying farewell to Cherie Klassen -- the former Executive Director of Old Strathcona Business Association

It’s been an incredible 8 years as ED of OSBA. Leading an organization and 600 businesses through a global pandemic wasn’t in my cards when I joined in 2017, but thanks to an incredible team, we did it. This has been my most challenging and rewarding roles in my career.

Voters told Taproot they want a more walkable city The growing responses to Taproot's listening work in the lead up to October's municipal election reveal that many voters want the city to be more walkable, meaning the pedestrian experience is safe, p...

Interesting that some city council candidates are campaigning on this and some are not. Voters told Taproot they want a more walkable city edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/09...

I’m excited to see a strong independent mayoral candidate who evokes integrity, innovative thinking and transparency. Go Andrew! @andrewknack.bsky.social

This is an incredibly disturbing trend… book banning in schools never leads to anything good.

Registered! Cant wait!

Screenshot of a quote from the linked article. The quote reads Rawling likes bike Lanes - in principle. "I think they sound great but the reality is that from what I see, most people who use bike lanes are like me - able-bodied military age males"

We just invited @EdmontonJournal reporter JCarmichael to join the Ride of the Fancy Women on June 8th so she could see for herself that macho nimbys arguing against safe infrastructure don't represent all the voices, or why we need proper bike lanes in #Edmonton.

50 Reasons Why Everyone Should Want More Walkable Streets From making you live longer to making cities more resilient: If you want a reason to make your city more walkable, it's in here.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

50 reasons to want more walkable streets.

This International women’s day my message to my fellow women is to not give up. I know the world is dark and working against us but we cannot let those who wish to oppress us win. Let’s stick together and lift each other up! 🚺💪

I noticed this too.
Wow.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

I would love to see a project like this in Edmonton. What an innovative approach to urban park building.

Poilievre is losing ground thanks to the Trump effect A plurality of Conservative supporters in Canada support Donald Trump. Do they realize that's about to cost them the next federal election?

Turns out being supported by the same people who support Trump, copying Trumps lazy insult lines, doing Trump-like things like refusing to get the normal security clearance (assuming he CAN get it), & generally wanting to BE Canada’s Trump isn’t all that popular in Canada.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
