We're launching a new series called "What We're Watching". It will be a weekly summary of what the Chamber team is watching from all orders of government. This week, we're watching items coming to City Council.    The Community Revitalization Levy (CRL) has already helped attract $4.7 billion in private investment, fuelling key projects that make our city more vibrant, competitive, and thriving. Extending the CRL could generate up to $976 million to revitalize downtown—without raising municipal taxes. A stronger downtown means a stronger Edmonton.

This morning, Edmonton City Manager, Eddie Robar, shared insights on Edmonton’s future, from tackling fiscal challenges and advancing economic development to making it easier to do business in our city. Key takeaways included: 🔹 Prioritizing fiscal sustainability, economic growth & public safety 🔹 Streamlining permitting & approvals to support entrepreneurs 🔹 Investing in infrastructure, from transit to downtown revitalization 🔹 Advocating for federal & provincial support on big-city issues Collaboration between business and government is key. A huge thanks to Eddie Robar, the City of Edmonton, our presenting sponsor CPHR Alberta, and everyone who joined the conversation! What are your biggest priorities for Edmonton’s future?
