Shaping Edmonton Together: A Discussion on City Priorities.

Join Mayor Andrew Knack as he discusses Council's strategic priorities and his vision for our city's future.

Andrew Knack was born in Edmonton, raised in Spruce Grove, and has lived in the west end since 2002. A proud graduate of the University of Alberta, he earned his Bachelor of Commerce in 2006. Before running for City Council, Andrew managed a retail business in West Edmonton Mall and served on both the Meadowlark and Jasper Park Community League boards. These experiences shaped his approach to leadership: ambitious, collaborative and community-focused. Guided by dedication to public service and inspired by his community, he continued learning and connecting with Edmontonians — a path that led him to City Council in 2013. Since then, he’s developed a reputation for listening deeply, engaging honestly and standing up for the everyday needs of residents.

For three terms, Mayor Knack represented the west end in Wards 1 and Nakota Isga on City Council. Known for his bright blue suits and equally bright outlook, Andrew brings a spirit of openness and optimism to his work. As a councillor, Andrew led many key initiatives including NextGen, Seniors, Public Engagement and Transportation Innovation. He has also served as the Council representative on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, the City of Edmonton Youth Council, the Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board, Edmonton Public Library Board and the Alberta Municipalities' Executive Committee.

Mayor Knack is particularly proud of championing the Lewis Farms Recreation Centre and Library and pushing for more accessible transit for seniors and youth. Edmonton is a remarkable city with its best days ahead.

Mayor Knack is honoured to have the opportunity to serve Edmontonians as Mayor and to build a stronger city together.
