The guest speaker this year is Don Iveson, former Mayor of Edmonton and Co-Chair of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness. (CAEH)
CAEH welcome's Don Iveson as the new Co-Chair to the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness Board of Directors. Don served as Edmonton’s 35th Mayor from 2013 to 2021 with a guiding leadership principle to make things better for the next generation. His long-term vision is now embedded in Edmonton’s smart-growth City Plan and the continuing work of End Poverty Edmonton, founded while he was Mayor. Don’s advocacy also helped to shape Canada’s National Housing Strategy and influence the federal government to commit to ending chronic homelessness nationwide—goals that cannot be achieved without robust partnerships with cities.
Jan 2022 Don joined School of Cities, Univ of Toronto, as a Canadian Urban Leader....
While Mayor Don served as Chair of Canada's Big City Mayors for five years, advocating for and shaping the National Housing Strategy while playing a part in securing the commitment to end chronic homelessness nationwide from the Federal Government. Don also fulfilled the role of an Honorary Witness to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and implemented the first trauma-informed all-staff Indigenous awareness and reconciliation training program at a major Canadian city.
About this event
The Rotary Club of Edmonton thanks all those involved in this year's STEP UP. Thank your for your support for charities serving our most vulnerable citizens. Known as Edmonton's original mac and cheese luncheon, the event has benefited charities in the inner city, including iHuman, Boyle McCauley Health Centre, and CEASE. This year's recipient charity is Boyle Street Community Services. Our aim is two-fold: 1) Raise awareness to the homelessness issues faced within Edmonton and 2) Come together to raise funds in support of this cause.
Please join us in our mission to support organizations addressing social issues in the downtown core.
Below are pictures of the front of the Boyle Street Community Services. This organization is helping the homeless.
