We are actively looking at ways to identify our true priorities and govern responsibly. All levels of government are asking for a great deal of personal responsibility from our citizens on a daily basis. In return, citizens must feel they can trust their elected officials and be confident the government is looking out for their best interests. During this pandemic, photo radar and automated enforcement in our municipality has been a source of great frustration and disdain by our general public. Overwhelmingly, our citizens are asking for a better way forward in regards to road safety. We agree with them. Photo radar should have been used as a single part of the total traffic enforcement plan to reduce excessive speeding, instead it has been woefully overutilized as a habitual tax on drivers. It has been abused to the point where it is no longer having the desired effect of promoting good driving behaviour or trusted by the populace. We must do better. In 2018, after a 10 year review on the merits of photo radar in Alberta, an independent study found photo radar to be not as effective as once purported.

  • YWCA Edmonton Is Proud to Support Daughters Day! YWCA Edmonton Believes That Within Each Girl Beats the Heart of a Change-Maker
    DAUGHTERS DAY August 24 , 2013 City Hall Edmonton, Alberta Program Message from Daughters Day Committee Chair Welcome! Welcome to the second annual Daughters Day celebration. The word daughter resonates a special connection when we think of women as our daughters. Every woman is someone’s daughter. Daughters Day is the initiative of the International Association of Citizens for a Civil Society -- a registered non-profit society in Alberta, and is supported by over 40 diverse community organizations and many dedicated volunteers. Daughters Day celebrates the lives, contributions, and achievements of all daughters; creating a culture of gender equality and eliminating violence and discrimination; and building a civil society that promotes, supports, and enhances the dignity of all its members - without leaving anyone behind because of their gender, economic condition, social standing, or other factors -- a role model for rest of the world. We are committed to collaborating, advocating, and advancing the interests of all daughters locally, nationally and internationally. Daughters Day is a community event for the whole family, and it includes a commitment walk; mayoral proclamation of Daughters Day; Daughters of the Year presentations; an information fair and other activities; speeches and messages of support; and entertainment. During autumn this year, we will be holding community engagement consultations in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and Slave Lake to learn from various communities, both their positive and negative experiences impacting daughters. The United Nations International Day of the Girl Child on October 11, 2013, will provide us the opportunity to collaborate with other public agencies and community organizations for further reflection.
