Previously Ward 4, Dene makes up the northeast corner of Alberta’s capital city, from Belvedere in its most southwestern corner, to the Clover Bar and Horse Hill areas in the east and north.
The ward has five councillor candidates, including the incumbent who served for the last four years.
Dene refers to various tribes and people that settled along the North Saskatchewan River and who live there now. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Cold Lake First Nations and the Dene Tha First Nations are Dene communities in Alberta.
Dene is pronounced DEH-NEH.
Tricia Velthuizen made a run at Edmonton city council in 2017, failing to earn the seat in what was then called Ward 4.
