Recruitment is currently underway for its members. In summary, not only did City Council, Administration and the public collaborate to create a new Public Engagement Policy, but they worked together to put the spirit of the Policy into a promise that hopefully everyone can relate to: • This is your city. • We value your input on how we main- tain, grow and build Edmonton. • We believe engagement leads to better decision making. • We are committed to reaching out to our diverse communities in thoughtful and meaningful ways. • We want to understand your perspectives and build trusting relationships with you. • We will show you how you help influ- ence City decisions. • Share your voicewith us and shape our city.
