Infill is one of the hottest issues in the 2025 Edmonton municipal election. For mature neighbourhoods like Hazeldean, Ritchie, Bonnie Doon, Crestwood, and Glenora the question isn’t whether development will happen, it’s how.

Why Infill Matters

Infill replaces older homes, sometimes ones in disrepair, with new housing. Done responsibly, this helps renew communities, increase housing supply, and add more choice for buyers.

The Challenges of Infill

Infill brings challenges too. When a single-family home is replaced with an eight-plex, you could see a two-resident-lot become sixteen or more residents. That means more cars, more traffic, and more strain on parking in already busy neighbourhoods.

The Municipal Election

This year’s municipal election will shape the future of Edmonton’s infill scene. Candidates for mayor and council are already voicing different views on how much density is appropriate and how to balance growth with quality of life.

Why Voters Should Care

If you live in Edmonton, your vote helps decide how neighbourhoods evolve. Responsible infill policies can support growth without overwhelming Edmonton’s core neighbourhoods. Now is the time to get educated on where each candidate stands.

Here is a list of the candidates, to help you start your research.
