2021 Municipal Election

Russell, who has served five terms as a city councillor, said if elected he would like to focus on transparency, cutting city spending, and increasing the number of smaller homes in St. Albert.

“The answer to financial viability isn’t to continue to raise taxes,” he said, but to find new ways to trim costs and generate revenue.  

“There’s lots of things left undone I’d still like to be a part of.” 

“I’m excited about the opportunity to work with other elected officials and administration on how we can keep the city the place that it is, as well as making it better for the future."

Popik said he wants to work toward increasing council transparency, and evaluate city services to assess potential avenues for cutting back on spending.

Two more trustees make election declarations.

Stoyko said that when it comes to the city's budget, he would like to see more attention paid to distinguishing between what he described as its wants and needs.

Heron said she wants to focus on developing more defined climate targets for the city, revitalizing the downtown core, and protecting the Sturgeon River from development.
