An excellent quality of life is what makes a good city great. We must support and strengthen those things that make Edmonton a vibrant and modern city: parks, the arts, festivals, multiculturalism, volunteerism, sports and recreation, and the general quality of service we provide to our citizens. We must do so for all of our citizens: the young, the old, families and single people, workers, students, and the retired.

If our city is to be a place where people want to live and raise their families, a city that attracts people, businesses and growth, then we must not sacrifice the very livability of our communities. Edmonton's future depends on building a city in which people choose to live.
