Highlighted Position – Civics Co-Directors (2 openings) (2 year term)

Civics Co-Directors (2 openings)
The Civics Directors help guide the Strathcona Centre Community League in actions that shape the physical and social infrastructure of our community. 

The Co-Directors would have an understanding of the principles and core values to assist in the creation of healthy, thriving neighbourhoods (e.g., good urban design, safe mobility, complete communities, access to green space) and an understanding of advocacy and engagement with other groups.

Other guiding lenses to shape decision making include:

  • Justice, equality, inclusion, and dignity;
  • Sustainability; and 
  • Community benefit.

Civics Directors and Committee members:

  • Engage community members on civic and planning issues;
  • Develop and shape policy that affects our community, based on principles and core values;
  • Understand and navigate the planning and development system in Edmonton;
  • Respond to development applications in our community.

Much of this requires working with other district and city-wide groups (e.g., participating in meetings or responding to correspondence). 

Civics Directors must also:

  • Prepare for regular monthly board meetings by reading over materials prior to the meeting, including preparing regular reports on current issues;
  • Chair meetings of the Civics and Planning Committee, including preparing agendas;
  • Prepare an annual report to be presented to membership at the AGM.

Time commitment per month includes attendance and preparation for board meetings, regular committee meetings, meetings with other stakeholder individuals or groups, and preparation and presentation of recommended directions to the City of Edmonton. The latter two should be shared amongst the two directors and other committee members.
