Department Organization
Community Standards
Community Standards enhances a livable city by supporting safe properties and a civil urban society that meets the standards and expectations of communities. This is accomplished by the identification of standards, together with the education, compliance and, where necessary, enforcement initiatives required to uphold them.
They work directly with citizens in the neighbourhoods in which they live to promote a culture of civic engagement, build great neighbourhoods, enhance family and community capacity, coordinate service delivery, operate and maintain parks, enhance the urban forest, and invest in revitalization initiatives.
Social Development
Social Development partners and collaborates with community to support and enable citizen-centric approaches to create an Edmonton for All. As part of Community Services, the branch strives to ensure that every person, regardless of gender, age, ability or place of origin, is engaged, included and afforded equitable opportunities to thrive in their community.
