Safety is more than just a statistic, it’s about how we feel in our own neighbourhoods. In my latest blog post, I’m diving deep into the complexities of community safety in Edmonton.

Today is Pink Shirt Day, a reminder that kindness, respect, and inclusion matter in every space we share, from our schools and workplaces to our neighbourhoods and online conversations. Let’s keep building a city where people feel they belong. #pinkshirtday #yeg

Truly heartbroken.

Heads up #yegbike, winter is returning! Enjoy the nice weather this week before temps drop and snow falls again. The best way to do that is to join us and our friends for Winter Bike to Work Day! buff.ly/23M0P7P #yegevents #yeg

In advance of Council's discussion on February 9/10, I want to make sure that I’m accurately reflecting the voices of residents that I represent. Checkout my latest blog summarizing what I’ve heard: www.erinrutherford.ca/what_i_heard...

Special thanks to @pathsforpeople.bsky.social @bikeedmonton.bsky.social @bikeology.bsky.social for helping organize, and councillors @edmontonanne.bsky.social @ashleysalvador.bsky.social @erinrutherford.bsky.social @michaeljanz.bsky.social and Reed Clarke for hosting tables!

What an amazing way to end the week! It was the grand opening of the Coronation Park Sport and Recreation Centre. I encourage everyone to check it out!

RESIDENTIAL SNOW CLEARING WILL NOT PAUSE‼️ Edmontonians, you may have been notified that neighbourhood blading would pause over the weekend, however, I want to assure you that that will NOT happen.

New blog! Reflecting on 2025: a year of challenge, growth, and budget gaps. I'm proud of our work protecting essentials and welcoming more neighbours with new housing. In 2026, my commitment is strong in getting the basics done right. www.erinrutherford.ca/reflecting_o...

My latest blog on Yellowhead Freeway Program has updates specifically for Prince Charles (design change) and Sherbrooke (noise wall update). Check it out: Attention Prince Charles - I have a major update related to the Yellowhead Program. Check it out: www.erinrutherford.ca/blog

Many people still think of poverty as something that happens when people don’t work. But the reality is different: majority of people who live in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. @gillianpetit.bsky.social and my 2026 chart to watch www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

On behalf of the City of Edmonton, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones affected by the horrific antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach. Families and community members had gathered peacefully to celebrate Hanukkah, a time of light, hope and the right to practice one’s faith.

Happy Holidays! I would like to formally invite you all to our holiday celebration! We look forward to hosting you for an evening of fun, connection, and delicious food. Families are welcome, and we will have kiddo-friendly entertainment. ❄ #YEG #Anirniq #holiday

It’s a day to take time to learn, unlearn, and commit to take action to repair the harms from Residential Schools and our colonial history as a Country. I will continue to work towards the Calls to Action in all aspects of my life. 🧡🪶 My platform is clear on this commitment.

This year's municipal elections in Alberta are important. The EDLC has picked the most pro-worker candidates in the city. They include my representative, @erinrutherford.bsky.social, who is excellent.

Thanks @yegbike.bsky.social for joining me on the doors yesterday!

We’re excited to launch our tool that helps you find out how the candidates running for mayor and city council in Edmonton align with you on the issues that matter most. blog.taprootpublishing.ca/2025/09/26/t... #yegvote #yegcc #yeg

Great recap on the forum ❤️

Pity the 94 people who have stepped up to run for council in Edmonton's civic election. Will their efforts even matter, when the interfering UCP government keeps threatening to run everything itself. #yeg #yegcc #yegelxn edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

We’re stepping into election season with purpose: to make safe streets a priority, to support champions who put people over politics, and to help you make informed choices. Safe streets start with you—and we need to work together: buff.ly/5rjhbYl #yeg #yegbike #yegcc

Free tonight? Join me for a cup of coffee and a treat and discuss all things #yegcc

It was great to meet you tonight!

At tonight's #YEG Ask Her forum on women's issues in the municipal election, I got to speak with @erinrutherford.bsky.social! I don't live in her ward, but I know her record on Council. She's been fair, forward thinking, & fiscally & environmentally responsible. Edmonton needs her to be re-elected🤞🏼

Hit the doors in Canossa today! It’s one of the northern-most neighbourhoods in the ward and it’s still developing. #yegcc #yegvote #wardanirniq

Back at it after the MUCH needed time away. Today I’m door knocking in Sherbrooke! #yegcc #yegvote

This is a great example that could be realized from one of the recommendations from the City’s Community Mobilization Task Force - so honoured to have been appointed as the council representative on this and that Council supported the recommendations!

I’m so grateful for all the volunteers that are fuelling my campaign and I love seeing little ones getting involved too - they definitely deserve those slushies! #yegvote

Humbled by the show of support at my campaign launch. I’m running for re-election as your City Councillor for Ward Anirniq because this work matters. Because you matter. And because we need strong, thoughtful, independent voices at City Hall. #yegvote #yegcc

Thank you to Hello Public Studios for the amazing launch video. Love seeing all the beautiful images in #wardanirniq and #yeg 😍 check it out and support my campaign at erinrutherford.ca

Lauderdale Dog Park is getting some upgrades - including new trails and benches, and permanent public washroom! A critical component is flood protection for surrounding communities. Got questions? Send them my way, or contact Epcor at [email protected]. See you at the park, neighbours!
