Very proud to have had the opportunity to develop and launch the new Core Neighbourhood Youth Co-op website with the collaboration of the board, and especially Andrea Paperplane's amazing photography and shaping of the website content.

The Speak Up, Edmonton! opposes the use of city taxpayer money to build the Katz Group's arena. We encourage citizens to express their views on this issue to their elected representatives.
