Joti understands the unique challenges and opportunities facing Ward Karhiio:
Stronger, safer communities
- Proactive community policing: this means anticipating issues, addressing root causes of crime, and collaborating with the community to improve public safety and quality of life.
- Preventive Programs: address the roots of crime by working with our provincial and federal governments to invest in social support for homelessness, addiction, and mental health.
- Building Trust: foster collaboration and trust between law enforcement and communities to ensure safety for all.
- Holistic Approach: balance law enforcement with community support, ensuring safety is maintained without neglecting underlying social issues.
- Vibrant, Inclusive Neighbourhoods: champion events, programs, and spaces that bring neighbours together and celebrate the diversity of Ward Karhiio.
Building what matters
- Reliable Core Services: maintain key public services such as LRT, road systems, and parks to ensure they are dependable, accessible and meet the daily needs of residents.
- Infrastructure First: Emphasize efficient transportation networks and practical infrastructure upgrades to ease congestion and improve city-wide mobility.
- Action on Homelessness: implement proven, compassionate approaches to reduce homelessness and strengthen long-term stability across neighbourhoods.
- Stronger Neighbourhoods: invest in community development across both suburban and central areas to enhance livability and connection for all Edmontonians.
- Excellence in Delivery: provide timely, efficient services that contribute to a city that’s easy to navigate, inclusive, and built for long-term quality of life.
- Growth That Works for Everyone: city expansion aligned with the delivery of essential services such as transit, schools, and community infrastructure to ensure new and existing neighbourhoods remain livable, connected, and well-supported.
Sensible Spending
- Lower the Burden on Taxpayers: property taxes keep rising while services fall behind. It's time to relieve pressure on residents and businesses by eliminating inefficiencies and reprioritizing spending.
- Cut Red Tape, Not Services: streamline internal processes and eliminate duplication so funds are redirected to front-line services—not bureaucracy.
- Priority-Based Budgeting: focus resources where they make the biggest impact: on public safety, transportation, core infrastructure, and community well-being.
- Transparent and Accountable: open the books. Ensure the public can easily see where money is going, what it's achieving, and how it supports the city’s goals.
- Affordable, Livable Edmonton: sensible spending keeps the city affordable so families, seniors, and small businesses can thrive without being overtaxed.
