Episode Synopsis
Over 13,000 people live in Edmonton’s Downtown neighbourhood, but there’s stigma about this area; people often don’t see the core as a safe and engaging place to call home. Mike Saunders, the Senior Vice President of Qualico Properties, has a vision to change that perception. He tells us about the power of compassion and creativity in urban development.--From This Episode-- Read the Edify article: Tearing Down The Great Wall of 104 Ave.Explore the Stations Lands development project. about Mike’s Northern Lights Award of Distinction in the article: Edmonton Chamber of Commerce: The Difference MakersSee more from Edify Magazine.Find Edify on Facebook, Instagram and X--Chapters--(00:00) - Intro
