Panelist Experience

What panellists said about their experience:

"It was eye opening! We're such a diverse group of Edmontonians yet we all have a passionate interest to make Edmonton better -- by taking a long term, more integrated view of the decisions we make. What I thought were marginal issues in public discourse weren't."
"This is a good exercise in democracy and citizen action."
"I was impressed by people's dedication and efforts. I personally learned about gender safety issues that I hadn't know about before."
"Everyone had a voice and no one was shouting."
"We're all connected and we realized that."
"Citizens are smart. We're a diverse group of people who came together with one voice."
"I learned about the budget process. And I learned about proactive citizenship. I will become more involved and engaged in city life as a result of this experience."
"We were a diverse group yet we have common, shared goals."
"We love Edmonton. We want to make it even better!"
