Much like in the streets, neighbourhoods and transit centres governed by its council, it's been a year of highs and lows at Edmonton city hall.
Much like in the streets, neighbourhoods and transit centres governed by its council, it's been a year of highs and lows at Edmonton city hall.
There was a rise in homeless camps and social disorder downtown and on transit.
Edmontonians dealt with the deaths of two police officers, and played host to thousands of people fleeing record-setting wildfires.
But the biggest news for the city may just be a boost to transit efficiency and morale from a brand train line that is finally running from downtown to Mill Woods.
To discuss all of it, Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi boarded a train with CTV News Edmonton to take a journey back through 2023.
"It is exciting that finally the Valley Line has opened," Sohi said at the start of the trip from Churchill to Davies stations.
It's called the Valley Line but its opening was a high point for the mayor this year.
