  • How our Zoning Bylaw shape how Edmonton will look?
  • Interested in turf on sports fields?

Engage Edmonton 2017 is a great way to share your voice and shape your city - all within one event. Check out the attached posters with information on dates and locations.

Alongside opportunities to engage with the City on a variety of projects, there will also be a activities for a range of ages.
