Over the past several years, Paths for People has relied on a combination of fundraising, grant-funding, and people-power to create community initiatives and run advocacy campaigns in Edmonton. Recently, we returned to a volunteer board focused on grassroots organizing. As a result, we are reaching out to our membership to help move us forward.
We are starting an annual fundraising drive that will become an integral part of our future resourcing. Over the last two weeks of November, we will encourage donors to make a contribution and sign up to become a monthly donor. We’ll also be highlighting past achievements and impacts to showcase our relevance to the community and discuss long-term plans to illustrate what we will accomplish with your support.

Community Impact
Paths for People is a grassroots organization that gets things done, and we have fun while doing it! Over the last several years, we have run a wide array of successful events
- Open Streets – opened up Jasper Avenue to 10’000 people walking, rolling or biking!
- City for Life – hosted conferences where influential city-builders connect with Edmontonians to discuss important transportation-related issues.
- Contraflow Series – partnered with many community organizations to run smaller events including webinar series, e-scooter tours and social events.
Advocacy Achievements
At the core of what we do is advocate for a safer, more accessible transportation system for walking, rolling and biking. Since 2014, we have celebrated many advocacy achievements, helping to ensure our members’ voices are heard.
- Missing Links – drew attention to low-cost, high-impact projects in our transportation system.
- 2021 Municipal Election – connected with Council and School Board Trustee candidates to shape the election around safer, more liveable streets.
- On-the-ground protest – advocated directly for issues, such as safe speed limits, the downtown bike network, and COVID-19 street re-allocation.
Future Impact
Paths for People knows the best is yet to come. Looking ahead, we plan to
- Continue running smaller-scale Contraflow events
- Aspire to run major events like Open Streets and City for Life.
- Work on major opportunities in the four year Municipal Budget, City Plan implementation and Bike Plan network expansion.
This will only be possible by setting up a strong list of donors that can help build up our resources so we are able to fund these major projects. We are forging a path to a more walkable, bikeable city and you can help!
