Excited to welcome and work with Kalen to @udiyeg! Let’s get onto the business of building this city.

improving efficiencies to streamline the development process, city vibrancy and enabling creativity to meet diverse needs. I look forward to working alongside the Urban Development Institute to grow and build a vibrant, innovative Edmonton where everyone feels safe and secure.

Great meeting with you today Mayor Sohi. @udiyeg is excited to continue our collaborative work on building this great city with you. Edmonton Office of the Mayor Kalen #citybuilding

Really looking forward to attending the 2021 Spirit of @udiyeg Awards next Friday. After years apart it will be amazing to connect with industry members and public & private city-builders to celebrate key accomplishments and milestones. #citybuilding #development #leadership

On this #InternationalWomensDay2022 I’d like to give a shout-out to all of the wonderful #yegwomen in development who work hard every day to create the homes, businesses, and neighbourhoods that build Edmonton and its communities up. Thanks for what you do! It matters #yeg

We support @udiyeg’s drive to develop a vibrant #yegdt that attracts employees, investment and buzz beyond our borders. Energy from our city core reverberates across #yegmetro edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

Edmonton and Calgary are ahead of the curve, big time. Let’s keep building Canada financialpost.com/news/economy/s…

How do we win? (1) People and businesses move and stay for a strong economy and opportunity. (2) a great quality of life measured thru affordability and a vibrant city. We have all that. Now we need to find our swagger and get a little loud promoting ourselves.

I'm looking forward to being in conversation with Mike Kohl Kim Petrin & sandeep agrawal tmrrw for "Urban is Everywhere", moderated by @udiyeg Jason Syvixay! We'll explore how suburbs are transforming into more dense, attractive spaces & places. eventbrite.ca/e/urban-is-eve…

Congratulations to Louise Gibson! Her contributions to @BrookfieldYEG , @udiyeg and the city are remarkable. Looking forward to this well deserved recognition.

Wow. Net interprovincial migration into Alberta popped in Q3 this year! Up nearly 20k -- nearly an all-time record. New data this morning is the first since the "Alberta is Calling" campaign started. #ableg

“Green spaces are often the heart of community connections”. And Edmonton and Calgary are amongst the highest. calgaryherald.com/life/homes/gre…

Economic opportunity + Quality of Life = largest population increase ever. Simple math. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Report by CMHC that concludes the obvious but puts some data behind it. From a benchmarking perspective, it is easy to celebrate that we are “not as bad as…” but that ignores the need to improve policies and processes that lead to delays and erosion of affordability.

albertabetter.libsyn.com/c-suite-unplug… Great interview by the Business Council of Alberta with Alan Norris covering housing affordability, leadership, community and passion for what you do.

Great article by Kalen that touches on several considerations on how we best grow the city. I’m no planner, but Failing to plan is planning to fail.
