PRESS RELEASE
Civic Service Union 52 Joins Edmonton's Downtown Recovery Coalition, Enhancing Advocacy for a Safe and Welcoming Downtown
June 21, 2023 (Edmonton, Alberta) - Civic Service Union 52 (CSU 52) has joined the Downtown Recovery Coalition (DRC) as a prominent Steering Committee member along with 30 other community leaders from private, public, and non-profit sectors. CSU 52 represents over 6,000 dedicated technical, professional, administrative, and clerical workers from organizations such as the City of Edmonton, Capital Power, Edmonton Public Library, EPCOR, and the Telus World of Science.
As the union representing front-line staff responsible for the smooth operation of our city, CSU 52's members perform vital duties such as answering emergency calls, supporting libraries, customer service for city run facilities, coordinating DATS and many more core services. With over 80% of their members required to be present on-site daily, safety at work is paramount. Throughout the pandemic, these dedicated individuals stepped up, exemplifying their commitment to Edmontonians by delivering uninterrupted services that keep our city running.
"A safe, vibrant, and welcoming downtown is imperative for the work our members carry out every day," emphasized Lanny Chudyk, President of CSU 52. "As city builders by profession and at heart, our members are devoted to providing core services that benefit all Edmontonians. However, their working conditions are becoming increasingly unacceptable. Our members often find themselves intervening in situations involving frightening and unsafe outbursts while simply doing their jobs. This is an unsustainable situation, and we are pleased to join the DRC in amplifying the collective voice advocating for a safe and vibrant downtown and city."
Acknowledging CSU 52's valuable contribution, DRC Chair Alex Hryciw expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. "Every employee deserves a safe work environment, and the addition of CSU 52 to our Steering Committee will accelerate our collaborative advocacy to all levels of government. Safety, security, cleanliness, and a vibrant downtown are critical success factors for our city as a whole. We extend a warm welcome to CSU 52 and look forward to working alongside them."
In the upcoming weeks, the DRC will increase its provincial engagement efforts and work toward informing the newly elected MLAs and Cabinet Ministers about the challenges facing our capital city and potential solutions to address them.
About the Downtown Recovery Coalition (DRC)
The DRC's primary objective is to leverage collective experience, expertise, and voices to build a vibrant and thriving downtown that serves as an economic engine for Edmonton while fostering a welcoming environment for all. Led by a diverse Steering Committee comprising representatives from community groups, non-profit organizations, and business leaders, the DRC includes individuals who work, live, provide services, and conduct business downtown.
About Civic Service Union 52 (CSU 52)

Of course this chart doesn't include Edmonton, which sadly often seems left out of supposed national surveys of all other cities over a million.
However, I would assume unless there is a strong reason to believe otherwise we would be in line with what is shown in the other cities and seems to be a trend this year.
If this is the case, I suppose it should be beneficial for downtown. I have noticed it seems to continue to be busier downtown, with a reduction a social problems and safety issues, or maybe they are not as noticeable when more people are around.

Given that this topic is being posted in the downtown thread, perhaps it wasnt because someone decided to ignore Edmonton and maybe more had to do with the fact that each of those downtowns has significantly more downtown workers than Edmonton and the survey used a threshold of workers downtown in person postings vs remote postings.

I just made an observation, I did not speculate as to why Edmonton was left out. There may be various reasons and I can also think of some others.
Given that this particular forum is about downtown Edmonton, I felt would be meaningful if the chart included Edmonton and so I noticed its absence.

No need to get defensive man. I offered a statistically objective reason to the survey that was an alternative to your self-pity statement "Of course this chart doesn't include Edmonton, which sadly often seems left out of supposed national surveys"

I am not the one using the words self pity and ignored. I am not sure why an observation is so triggering.

Edmonton Jazz Festival has started. Free lunch hour concerts at ICE District this week.
What I noticed immediately is how nice it is to have a built-in sound system for the plaza, unlike Churchill which has nothing. Hopefully one day soon Churchill could have a similar light and sound set up (minus screens for ads) like Montreal has in Quartier des Spectacles.

This is the type of complementary-to-historic development stuff you get to see in cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and even Winnipeg. Alas.
