Public engagement is core to how Edmonton effectively builds, plans and delivers more than 300 municipal programs and services that residents rely on every day. The award highlights years of work across every City department to strengthen trust, use inclusive engagement practices and ensure Edmontonians have a meaningful voice in decisions that shape the city.
“This award belongs to all Edmontonians, who have shared their diverse voices,” said Jennifer Badry, Interim Chief Communications Officer. “Making that possible has been the City’s dedicated engagement professionals, past and present, who lead with purpose and passion. Thank you, IAP2 Canada, for recognizing Edmonton's collective dedication to enabling a better life for all Edmontonians.”
The award also acknowledges Edmonton’s work to evolve its Public Engagement Policy, which culminated in its review and approval by City Council on April 8, 2025.
