Every decision seen through women’s lens Council
City asked to think of gender for projects, meeting times Jeremy Simes
Metro | Edmonton City decision makers may soon have to report how every policy they craft affects women and minority groups. The policy shift — which goes up for council approval next week — comes after administration presented findings Tuesday at a committee meeting that outline how staff can adopt genderbased analysis in their work. “I think it’s going to shape a city that is respectful of everyone,” said Coun. Bev Esslinger, who spearheaded the proposal. “It’s a good step forward.”

Dawn Newton, with Women’s Advocacy Voice of Edmonton, points to the timing of meetings as one area where the city could be more accommodating. “For example, when you’re having town halls in the evening, you’re going to miss a lot of moms cooking dinner and putting kids to bed,” she explained, noting that rules around engagement would change so those voices could be at the table. Mayor Don Iveson told the committee the changes would mean better decision making. “I’m glad we’re taking the bull by the horns here,” he said. “Women are underrepresented in the decision-making process … so this ensures our decisions are made for everybody.”
