Qualities that define the City as an employer

As an employer, I'd say that 'public involvement,' 'recognition,' and 'encouragement of health and wellness' would describe the City. As for the culture or philosophy, the words 'belief', 'integration' and 'success' come to mind. It's a fun place to work, helping the citizens of Edmonton with their needs.
