Summary

68% Informative

Edmonton lost 421 residents last year , an all-time high.

More than 4,000 Edmontonians don’t have a permanent home.

Council will mull the fate of 11 surplus school sites at City Hall this week .

Council must not let this opportunity slip by.

Edmonton ’s rapid growth is a recipe for even more homelessness, unless we start making adequate housing a reality with land, resources, and partnerships. Council has an opportunity this week to take leadership, to start building a better future. Imagine the difference it could make. Bradley Lafortune is executive director of Public Interest Alberta .
