Looking for Solutions
Task Force members are working with community representatives, Edmonton school districts, the Government of Alberta and other stakeholders to assess the challenges and opportunities facing mature neighbourhoods. The City of Edmonton consults its citizens and community groups often and has received substantial input on the challenges surrounding the revitalization of mature neighbourhoods. Partners like the school boards, Alberta Education and Next Gen have also conducted consultations that have resulted in further valuable information and input on revitalization.
The Task Force will use this feedback, as well as input from focus groups and meetings with community representatives and groups like community leagues to formulate its recommendations on how to address community sustainability issues. Members are looking for solution-based feedback – innovative ways the partners can help communities be vibrant and sustainable.
