The Way We Live: Edmonton's People Plan ... - City of Edmonton

4 The Way We Live
The Way We Live: Edmonton’s People Plan advances and supports the goal of improving
edmonton’s livability. Created with extensive public input, this long-range people plan
continues the spirit of citizen engagement used to create the City Vision. it gives voice
to, and embeds, in every city offering and service the principles and goals of creating a
caring, connected city where people of all ages, backgrounds cultures and incomes have
the opportunity to succeed.
edmontonians defined six goals in The Way We Live: Edmonton’s People Plan, that, when
achieved, will improve edmonton’s livability. this long range, corporate directional
plan is the first to deliberately define and honour the people services that so greatly
contribute to our individual and collective quality of life.
The Way We Live Implementation Plan looks at how we will achieve each of those six
goals. each goal begins with an overview of many of the City’s current projects, programs
and services that advance it.
the implementation plan then gives an overview of planned initiatives anticipated to
be completed over the next 10 years that will also advance that goal. these initiatives
are in addition to, and build upon, current City projects, programs and services. many of
these initiatives are not funded and many need to secure funding from City Council.
edmontonians are also provided a series of performance measures used to track
progress in achieving each of the six The Way We Live goals. these measures contribute
to the transparency of city government and add to citizen understanding of the
direction edmonton’s people programs and services are taking to achieve the goal of
making edmonton one of Canada’s most livable cities.
edmontonians are committed to making edmonton one of Canada’s most livable cities.
