Time flies! In a city with so much happening and so much promise it’s easy to lose track of time to take stock of what’s going on. As it’s been nearly a year since Edmonton NextGen’s successful Candi{date} election gatherings it’s now time for an update.
Up{date} 2011 brings together city councillors and key civic leaders in a speed dating style format for you to directly ask how their visions for Edmonton’s future are coming to life a year since the election. It’s your chance to:
Ask questions
Offer opinions
Learn about Edmonton’s growth
Spark debate
First introduced in the 2010 municipal election, Candi{date} is a made-in-Edmonton NextGen event that connects Next Gen voters to election candidates. Candi{date} is a casual, informal and fun way for voters to meet candidates, find out who they are and what they stand for, and to ask the questions that matter to them.
So get thinking, organize your thoughts and come out for an Up{date}!
Where – Art Gallery of Alberta
When – Wednesday, October 5th, 7pm-9pm
Who – City Councillors, Civic Leaders

Thanks to TelusTV, here’s a recap of Pecha Kucha Night 10 (PKN 10) in Edmonton hosted by the City of Edmonton’s NextGen Initiative on June 17, 2011. The unique theme of Pecha Kucha Night was on designing downtown and the event attracted a sold out crowd of 400 people.
