1,000 signs across lawns and even some roads. I've done the work, and I promise to lead with you and work for us. We can turn this momentum into victory. Let's make history together, TODAY.

Today's the day! So much hard work from both myself and my team has led up today. Please make the time to get out & vote, make your voice heard. I am ready to be the next Edmonton City Councillor for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, we've knocked on almost 25,000 doors and placed...

Let’s do that by: -Expanding youth employment and apprenticeship programs through partnerships -Supporting sectors where Edmonton already leads: tech, healthcare, education, and the arts. -Making City Council an active partner in building success, rather than being one more hurdle to overcome.

Funke Olokude @funkeolokude.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

City Council should be a partner in our success, not a barrier to growth. We can grow our city, and our talent, by investing in our people and giving the next generation a fair shot to succeed.

I met a recent graduate who told us she was considering leaving Edmonton because she couldn’t find stable work in her field. Like her, too many young people feel uncertain about their future here. Edmontonians are builders, innovators, and hard-working people.

Worth it because of the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, and the shared belief that our ward deserves a councillor who leads collaboratively and delivers on affordability, economic growth and community safety & well-being.

Tomorrow is Election Day and I'm so grateful to see at how far we've come. What officially began in January has ended up being a journey of strength, tenacity, and sacrifice, and every bit of it has been worth it.

Let’s fix that by: -Building more housing so people can continue to live in the communities they love. -Making it faster and easier to build homes that include affordable options. -Encouraging different types of housing development. Learn more on my website, www.funkeolokude.ca/priorities

Everyday on the doors, I hear about affordability. A couple in Heritage Valley waited over a year for an affordable unit near their family but had to move 40 minutes away. Here’s my plan to help keep costs down for Edmontonians.

They deserve respect and a fair deal so they can get back to doing what they love. If elected as the next City Councillor for Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi, I will always stand with teachers and all public sector employees fighting for workers’ rights.

This morning, I joined dozens of Edmontonians who braved the cold to walk along Ellerslie Road in support of teachers! As a mother of 2 school-aged children who love their teachers, and an educator myself, I know the vital role teachers play in our community and I can’t thank them enough.

Proud to join THOUSANDS of Edmontonians who showed up for teachers today at the Alberta Legislature. Every day I hear from residents of Ward Ipiihkoohkanipiaohtsi who support the educators who will be striking as of tomorrow. Many of them are teachers themselves, or they have a family member…
