Growth Report: Quality of Life Matters

Quality of Life Matters

As the region rapidly grows as a top destination for singles, families, and entrepreneurs, the City of Edmonton is planning ahead to accommodate growth and sustain our high quality of life.

High quality of life matters

Whether you are jogging through parks, watching your kids' hockey practice, attending one of the many festivals or cheering on the hometown favourite at an international event, these are the moments that enhance our lives.

Investments are key

The City of Edmonton invests carefully to encourage an energized arts, culture and entertainment scene in our revitalized downtown.

We're investing in community hubs through libraries, community halls, seniors’ and recreation centres along with countless community events in our 400+ distinct neighbourhoods. We’re also investing in hosting international events, and all these investments benefit the region.

Staying globally competitive

To sustain a globally competitive and prosperous region, we need to attract and keep a talented workforce, create new jobs, build a vibrant culture, embrace diversity, and attract global leaders in research and innovation.

We’re focused on supporting high quality of life. Together, we must offer different types of housing, quality education, health services, and transportation access across the city and region so everyone can get to work, school, or play.

Caring for citizens

While many enjoy the current prosperity, our growing population puts pressures on maintaining a wide variety of supportive services. We work collaboratively with government partners and agencies to secure services for seniors and citizens with income and additional challenges.

The Edmonton region is growing fast. To meet demands for growth, we seek collaborative partnerships, use prudent investments, promote economic diversity, and attract continued business and industry investment. Together these bring high quality of life to the region.

Edmonton gets it. We're on it.
