The larger Plan Edmonton planning team consists of a network of representatives from civic departments. The planning network will be expanded as representatives from a wide range of community organizations become involved in policy committees. A list of departmental representatives and a partial list of community organization representatives are on page 2.
Topic Highlights is a collection of information describing situations and trends that are of long term significance to the City of Edmonton. Initially the binders will be used as background material for Council's vision sessions. Later the information will be used by Plan Edmonton policy committees. Copies of the binder have been distributed to the General Managers of all departments. Topic Highlights is a policy information base which will change and grow through the incorporation of new information and a wider frame of reference provided by City Council, members of community organizations and the public. If there are topics that you believe should be included in a future release, please contact Gord Jackson at 496-6117.
