RE-ELECT
Explore Ashley's Platform
You need to know what values and principles will guide your elected officials. You deserve to know who you're voting for.
Good city-building demands both vision and discipline. It means understanding the fundamentals, managing the details, responding to community needs, and always keeping the big picture in focus. Competent, thoughtful decision-making, day after day, shapes the Edmonton we live in now and the one we will leave behind for future generations.
I love the communities of Ward Métis, and I believe they can be even stronger. That's why my platform is comprehensive and connected. It’s not just a list of ideas; it's an integrated plan to make Edmonton safer, more sustainable, more affordable, and more liveable for everyone.

Meet Ashley Salvador
Ashley is a doer and has never sat on the sidelines. As a non-profit founder with a masters degree in urban planning and over a decade of municipal experience, she has led work on economic development, affordable housing, infrastructure renewal, and more.
Prior to being elected, Ashley worked with Alberta Municipal Affairs, the University of Alberta’s Office of Sustainability, the City of Waterloo & World Health Organization's Age Friendly Cities Initiative, and Abundant Community Edmonton. She is the founder of the non-profit organization, YEGarden Suites, which has supported over 8,000 Edmontonians, and helped pave the way for tens of millions of dollars in annual community investment.
Ashley has worked in public, private, and non-profit sectors, and served on the Board of Directors at the Edmonton Social Planning Council, Old Strathcona Business Association, and on the Street Speeds Committee with the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues.
She was elected to Edmonton City Council in 2021 and has championed work on affordable housing, climate policy, sustainable urban growth, and public transit. She spearheaded the creation and implementation of a new Dedicated Renewal Fund to address Edmonton's $470M annual infrastructure gap with sustainable, long-term planning, and has supported the introduction of a sweeping set of tools to address vacant and derelict problem properties.
She served as a Council Advisor on the Energy Transition Climate Resilience Committee of Council, Edmonton Arts Council, and City of Edmonton Youth Council, as well as a Council representative on Alberta Municipalities Environment Committee, and the River Valley Alliance.
Local Government Matters
With the provincial government forcing political parties into municipal elections, it's more important than ever to elect strong, independent representatives who will put our city and communities first.
The provincial government’s new rules for municipal elections create unfair advantages for party-aligned candidates, reduce transparency, and undermine the accountability Edmontonians deserve. This isn't what Albertan's asked for.
That’s why I’m running as a strong, independent voice for Ward Métis.
Our city needs leaders focused on our community’s needs, free from partisan ties, especially to a provincial government that has underfunded Edmonton and downloaded costs onto local taxpayers. We need leadership rooted in local autonomy and genuine accountability to our residents, not party bosses.
