You've said these themes are important to you when it comes to enjoying Edmonton's quality of life:
- Active Lifestyle, Public Health and Leisure
Various forms of recreation and leisure activities help create community spirit and help individuals, families and communities to connect. - Affordability
Edmontonians envision a future without homelessness which supports a continuum of low cost housing options and other supports from public, private and non-profit sector organizations. - Arts, Culture and Heritage
Our arts, culture and heritage festivals give all Edmontonians the opportunity to meet, celebrate, gather and make connections. - Attractiveness
Interesting architecture, creative building design and maintaining our historical and heritage buildings are important to Edmontonians. - Community and Urban Form
Every Edmontonian belongs to several communities — our city, neighbourhood, community league, apartment building or condo and to communities of interest based on age, spiritual practice, gender, ethnicity and interests. What binds us together is our desire for physical and social connectedness. - Crime Prevention
Building and supporting strong, inclusive communities will connect people and support those in need will help reduce crime. - Environmental Sustainability
Edmontonians want an environmentally sustainable city that is more compact with complete communities that reduce our environmental footprint. - Learning
Edmontonians see education and lifelong learning as a strength of our city and want to further develop the city as a centre of excellence in education. - Parks and Open Spaces
One of the most frequently mentioned topics is Edmontonians' strong sense of pride in our parks and open spaces. - Transportation
We want a more efficient and effective multi-modal (bus, LRT, bicycle, walking, car) transportation system that provides access to all areas of the City in a timely manner.
