Edmonton is changing the names and boundaries of its wards. The changes to the wards will come into effect on October 18, 2021, which also happens to be municipal election day.
Rob Houle was instrumental in determining the ward name changes.
Houle is from the
Swan River First Nation in Treaty No. 8 territory in Northern Alberta. He has worked at various levels of government in Indigenous relations and he currently works as a research fellow at the
Yellowhead Institute, which is a First Nation-led research centre and contributes regularly to the
Edmonton City as a Museum project. CKUA’s
Savannah Parker spoke with the activist and scholar about the ward name changes.

A city-appointed task force on policing and community safety has attacked the integrity of the Edmonton police, says the president of the Edmonton Police Association.
A letter sent on Thursday by Sgt. Michael Elliott to EPA members outlines deep concerns with the findings in the report released last week.
The report is insulting and demeaning and used anti-police biases and stereotypes to attack the women and men of this police service who dedicate their careers to serving the people of Edmonton, Elliott wrote.
