While Recent statistics show a 7.2% decrease in Edmonton’s overall crime rate in 2023, violent crime has risen in the same period. This underscores the need for targeted strategies to address this alarming issue. I pledge to collaborate with all levels of government to implement sustainable solutions that ensure that our streets, public transit, and communities are safe for everyone.
The City of Edmonton’s operating budget for 2024 stands at $3.48 billion, with the property tax set to jump by 6.1% in 2025. It is critical that we manage these funds well. I am committed to operating within a balanced budget, ensuring that every dollar is spent wisely. By reducing red tape and embracing technological advancements, we can deliver core services—such as Transit service, snow removal, and garbage collection—more efficiently and promptly.
