We Build This City - ECA 2025 Municipal Campaign

We are excited to launch our 2025 ECA Municipal Election Campaign; We Build This City. All the campaign resources can be found on our Google Drive, including our election campaign document, our campaign social media posts, and our election pocket card.

Edmonton is growing rapidly, but aging infrastructure, tight municipal budgets, and escalating project costs threaten to slow that growth. We must ensure that Edmonton keeps building.

Pillars & Messages

  • Don't Stop: When we pause capital budgets, cancel projects, or slow down permitting and procurement, we lose more than just momentum — we lose opportunity. Don't stop planning. Don't stop building. Don't stop growing.
  • Put People First: The ECA is already leading with our workforce development partners. But we need a municipal council that values collaboration, fair risk-sharing, and transparent delivery models.
  • Think Big (City): Edmonton is not a small town. We are a significant city with big-city needs — and a growing population. We must ensure our capital planning, infrastructure spending, and service design match the scale of our ambition.

What Can You Do?

  • Use this toolkit to educate clients, staff, and networks.
  • Share our key messages on social media.
  • Attend the ECA/NAIOP/BOMA candidate mixer.
  • Ask candidates: Will you invest in building Edmonton? Or will you put growth on pause?
