The City of Edmonton has been named IAP2 Canada’s 2025 Organization of the Year. The award celebrates the city’s commitment to building a culture where public participation is part of everyday decision-making.

Edmonton is one of Canada’s youngest and fastest-growing cities, home to more than one million people who speak over 125 languages.

A cornerstone to shaping our city has been the City's past and present dedicated engagement professionals who lead with purpose and passion.
