Ward Karhiio

Meet Shamair Turner.

We need practical, decisive leadership in Ward Karhiio.

You deserve to live in a community that works for you. You deserve to live in a community where good jobs and opportunities are within reach.

This is a critical time for Edmonton. So many of the services we expect to be there for us have been disrupted.

That can be unnerving. But, with a bold vision, it also brings new opportunities.

We are living through incredible change. The truth is, we need to embrace it. This is our chance to create programs, efficiencies, and priorities for the City in new ways.

I am a business professional, active community member and advocate for Edmonton. I value people’s perspectives, lifestyles and experiences. And I know that meaningful dialogue is the key to creating better solutions for Edmontonians—both in their jobs and communities.

My name is Shamair Turner. I will fight for innovation, quality services, affordable housing, and business growth. I’m driven by the foundational belief that smart financial decisions and climate action need to be part of every plan. I’ll make sure your ward and city work for you.

 

My Commitments

  • Strong financial management

  • Support local business

  • Quality basic services

  • Integration of innovation/technology

  • Climate action

Your generous donation to my campaign will help to share my message and allow me to work towards building a stronger City.
