The Community Engagement Action Team is a community based society which collectively share resources to promote a healthy, thriving and engaged community for the people of Edson and Yellowhead County through various initiatives and educational events that enhance the safety and well being of all. Our team will continue to lead initiatives such as random-acts-of-kindness week, radio ads during anti-bullying week and bring guest speakers to our community. We will be actively engaging residents at community events throughout the summer!
VISION: A healthy, thriving, engaged community.

Healthier Together Focus Areas
We want to turn Edson into a healthier community, and we need your help to do it! Please give us your feedback on the priorities that we've identified and let us know if there's anything that we've missed.
Please be aware that we are still in the developing stages of the scope of our project. We still need to review each idea to determine feasibility, sustainability, and overall impact. Right now, we are trying to understand what the community thinks we should focus on.
Please share your opinions and ideas with us here!
