Funke Olokude

1,000 signs across lawns and even some roads. I've done the work, and I promise to lead with you and work for us. We can turn this momentum into victory. Let's make history together, TODAY.

Today's the day! So much hard work from both myself and my team has led up today. Please make the time to get out & vote, make your voice heard. I am ready to be the next Edmonton City Councillor for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, we've knocked on almost 25,000 doors and placed...

Let’s do that by:

-Expanding youth employment and apprenticeship programs through partnerships

-Supporting sectors where Edmonton already leads: tech, healthcare, education, and the arts.

-Making City Council an active partner in building success, rather than being one more hurdle to overcome.

City Council should be a partner in our success, not a barrier to growth. We can grow our city, and our talent, by investing in our people and giving the next generation a fair shot to succeed.

I met a recent graduate who told us she was considering leaving Edmonton because she couldn’t find stable work in her field. Like her, too many young people feel uncertain about their future here. Edmontonians are builders, innovators, and hard-working people.

This has always been OUR campaign. Together, we’ve built something powerful. Now, it’s time to finish strong and bring our vision for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi to City Council.

Let’s make history, together. Make sure to vote tomorrow.

Worth it because of the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, and the shared belief that our ward deserves a councillor who leads collaboratively and delivers on affordability, economic growth and community safety & well-being.

Tomorrow is Election Day and I'm so grateful to see at how far we've come. What officially began in January has ended up being a journey of strength, tenacity, and sacrifice, and every bit of it has been worth it.

Everyday on the doors, I hear about affordability. A couple in Heritage Valley waited over a year for an affordable unit near their family but had to move 40 minutes away. Here’s my plan to help keep costs down for Edmontonians.

Election day is in 4 days and Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi is in full autumn and Halloween mode! It's so picturesque to doorknock in neighbourhoods where the leaves are falling and the neighbours are decorating.

How to pronounce Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi. I get asked on the doors all the time how the ward name is pronounced and now I'm even getting comments on social media asking me the same thing, so here is a how to! (E-pee-ko-ka-nee piu-tsi-ya)

They deserve respect and a fair deal so they can get back to doing what they love.

If elected as the next City Councillor for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, I will always stand with teachers and all public sector employees fighting for workers’ rights.

This morning, I joined dozens of Edmontonians who braved the cold to walk along Ellerslie Road in support of teachers!

As a mother of 2 school-aged children who love their teachers, and an educator myself, I know the vital role teachers play in our community and I can’t thank them enough.

Thank you to MLA David Shepherd and everyone who came out doorknocking with me this past week! The enthusiasm is at an all time high now that we are only 6 days from the election. Join us for the final push this week

…or close friend who is a teacher.

I believe all workers deserve respect, fair wages and safe working conditions and if elected to Edmonton City Council, I will fight to protect workers.

And as a teacher myself, I will always stand with education workers. ✊🏾

Proud to join THOUSANDS of Edmontonians who showed up for teachers today at the Alberta Legislature.

Every day I hear from residents of Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi who support the educators who will be striking as of tomorrow. Many of them are teachers themselves, or they have a family member…
