As an organization, the @CityofEdmonton has big buying power. We purchase everything from buses to beverages for our venues. Our purchase decisions should contribute to Edmonton’s inclusive economy where possible.

I’m proud that the City is making great progress in implementing a social procurement framework for our organization, and working to champion ethics and values in our practices.

Child care accessibility continues to be uneven across the province. In Medicine Hat for example, there are about 4 spaces available for every 10 children. Compared to international standards, accessibility rates (also referred to as coverage rates), are low everywhere in Alberta

EndPovertyEdmonton has spent the last year bringing workforce development organizations and employers together to create a more solid, sustainable and effective workplace ecosystem where everyone from job seekers to employers gets what they need.

@Meaghon @VibrantCalgary @EndPovertyYEG Second we upgraded our shoe statues. Here is our current top shoe attraction:

@Meaghon @VibrantCalgary @EndPovertyYEG First, YEG sounds cool. So when people say, “I’m going to yeg.” Their friends say, “break a leg!” YCC is pronounced yuck. So when people say, “I’m going to ycc.” Their friends say, “that’s going to suck!”

[Erick Ambtman @ErickAmbtman]

For the record I am implying nothing about what is considered cool in Calgary

[Erick Ambtman @ErickAmbtman]

But on the hockey front I have to disagree with you @Meaghon In #yeg we measure hockey prowess by chips and it’s 5-1.

[Erick Ambtman @ErickAmbtman]

This is yours

Plus I love that you can see the mountains and I guess it makes sense that you all want to blow them up to harvest that sweet, sweet coal. After all, it is the fuel of tomorrow.

[Erick Ambtman @ErickAmbtman]

And that’s not the only great thing about Calgary @Meaghon You have a five lane freeway that has daily gridlock dispute having no traffic lights or traffic calming measures. That’s special!

[Erick Ambtman @ErickAmbtman]

@Meaghon @VibrantCalgary @EndPovertyYEG I just think Calgary is a really great town. Where else in 2022 is wearing a white cowboy hat considered cool. So examples:

@Meaghon @VibrantCalgary @EndPovertyYEG Why all the shade? I thought we were friends? @EndPovertyYEG loves @VibrantCalgary and I can’t think of anything bad to say about Calgary

Why is an inclusive economic approach beneficial for everyone? If the 350,000 Indigenous youth enter the workforce in 2016 -2026 & receive support to realize their potential in the labour market, their economic activity would boost Canada’s economy by $27.7 billion annually #yeg
