Housing in the Hot Seat

They've been interviewing us, now it's time to hear directly from them. Join four local journalists as they share what goes into telling Edmonton's story, why it matters, who shapes the conversation, and what's at stake. City building isn't just about creating physical spaces, it's the stories we tell ourselves and to others, that make the places we call home. From pressing urban issues like the declaration of a housing emergency to longer-form stories around urban growth and community change, the real estate development industry makes the news. Our multi-agency broadcast on the issues that matter most, live on location, at 12:30 p.m. on September 19.

Moderated by Jason Syvixay from UDI - Edmonton Metro, we will hear from our panellists:

• Steven Sandor, Edify Magazine
• Lauren Boothby, Postmedia
• Karen Unland, Taproot Publishing
• Jeremy Thompson, CTV News Edmonton

• Where: Royal Glenora Club
• When: September 19, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Doors open 11:30 a.m.
• Ticket includes plated lunch and complimentary beverages

The Urban Development Institute-Edmonton Metro is a non-profit, member-driven organization representing leaders in the real estate industry in all communities throughout the Edmonton Metropolitan region. Our members are development companies and the professionals involved in our industry, including planners, surveyors, landscape architects, engineers, contractors, finance managers, and others. Together with municipalities who regulate and set policy related to land use, we are important city builders. We build the communities where people live, the roads they travel, the buildings they work in, and the parks where families gather.
