* via email: "Edmonton Insight Community is a group of Edmontonions who have agreed to engage consistently with the City on-line about a range of City issues. All Edmonton residents aged 15 and older can join. You can access the Community at [http://edmonton.ca/insightcommunity edmonton.ca/insightcommunity]. The Community was launched at the end of June and has been a great success so far.

We believe it is important to make you and the people you serve aware of the opportunity to join and seek guidance from you on how to make their experience as user friendly and meaningful as possible." | * via email: "Edmonton Insight Community is a group of Edmontonions who have agreed to engage consistently with the City on-line about a range of City issues.
