The City-Region Studies Centre launched this season's Regional Planning Speakers Series by hosting an election forum on the topic of “strengthening cities and communities”.
Dr. Kevin Jones, Director of the CRSC, moderated a panel discussion on how the federal administration can collaborate with other levels of government to support strong, resilient, and sustainable urban community development. The panel addressed issues such as housing, social welfare, transportation, infrastructure, environment, sustainability, and economic development.
The panel, introduced by Mayor Don Iveson, features local representatives of federal political parties, including: Linda Duncan (NDP, Edmonton Strathcona), Karen Liebovici (Liberal, Edmonton West), Mike Lake (Conservative, Edmonton-Wetaskiwin), and Heather Workman (Green, Edmonton Griesbach).
