About Jennifer

My name is Jennifer Rice, and I’m running for City Councillor in Edmonton Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi (former Ward 10), where I’ve resided for over a decade.  I look forward to bringing my professional qualifications and passion for serving our community to Edmonton City Council. 
 

I have hands-on experience within Alberta working in government business operations, finance and budgeting, all of which will help me serve you effectively on City Council.  I have held a number of leadership roles at the provincial government level, including managing financial and project management reporting on a public infrastructure budget of nearly $1 billion, and working with over 100 community-based organizations across Alberta to serve community and family safety and homeless prevention programs. 
 

I am both capable and committed to moving our city towards a greater focus on our core municipal responsibilities. This means ensuring our city’s projects, programs and services are delivered in a more relevant, efficient and effective manner.  I am also committed to avoiding continuous tax hikes by increasing our city’s fiscal efficiency and supporting local business development by shortening the amount of time it takes to get a business licence or permit.  Most importantly, I’m committed to listening to Edmontonians before making major decisions that affect their every day lives.
