Valley Line West LRT: Preparing for the 2026 construction season The City of Edmonton and Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) are preparing for another busy construction season on the Valley Line West LRT project. While details are still being finalized, some of the most disruptive work for commuters, businesses and residents will occur along 102 Avenue between 102 Street and 107 Street, and along 87 Avenue between 156 Street and Anthony Henday Drive. To stay informed about Valley Line West construction, sign up for the City's newsletter and MIP's construction notices. Find information about the project on the Valley Line West LRT website. Build a blueprint towards a Climate Resilient Home Extreme weather and storms can test how our homes perform when it matters the most.
The City’s interactive Climate Resilient Home online tool is designed to build a customized blueprint for homeowners and builders to make thoughtful choices towards creating a more climate-resilient home. By identifying potential risks and simple actions, the tool can help homeowners understand how and where to start to enhance the safety and comfort of their home, regardless of the forecast.

Industrial, Commercial and Institutional companies participate in waste reduction pilot program Edmontonians have been doing great in sorting their food waste by making sure they are putting it on their food scraps carts for disposal. Now, thanks to funding from the City of Edmonton Climate Task Force, Edmonton Waste Services is getting the commercial sector involved in this work in a new pilot program.
The new program has two goals: rescue edible surplus food and collect and compost inedible food. Participants in this program are what we call the ICI sector: industrial, commercial and institutional. The City is running a pilot project for this by partnering with the Circular Innovation Council, a waste collection company, a food rescue organization and 30 non-residential organic waste generators, including institutions such as schools, hospitals, supermarkets, restaurants and hotels during this pilot.
Waste from the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional sector amounts to about 770,000 tonnes, 25 percent of which is food waste.
During the year this pilot project will run, Waste Services estimates the City will avoid nearly 2,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent from landfills and transportation, and over 300 tonnes of organic waste will be turned into 150 tonnes of rich compost. Additionally, the pilot hopes to see 30,000 meals created from rescued food and provided to equity-deserving Edmontonians seeking access to nutritious, fresh and culturally appropriate food.
