Quality of life
Do you support the city's current approach to upholding the spirit and specifics of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 calls to action?
Context:
In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued 94 calls to action to recognize the harm done by residential schools and repair the damage that continues to this day. As part of its response, the City of Edmonton developed an Indigenous Framework to support and build strong relationships with Indigenous Peoples, which was endorsed by city council in February.

Voter responses

Overall
By ward
Note: Taproot excluded surveys with fewer than two answers from these results. It was possible for voters to fill out the survey multiple times, but unlikely at a large scale given the structure of the survey. Voters were not able to select "I don't have a position on this issue".
