Since 2023, We Belong in Jasper Place has supported more than 20 community-led projects.
Together, we’ve brought neighbours together through music, art, food, and shared space to build a more connected, welcoming, and inclusive community.
As we wrap up this phase of the project at the end of 2025, the City of Edmonton will be stepping back from the initiative. But the spirit of belonging doesn’t end here—and we’d love to hear from you.
Tell us what worked, what could be better, and what you’d love to see next for your community.

Gratitude for Round 2: You Made It Happen
To everyone who led a project, showed up and shared the word - thank you! You helped bring us all together.
Ten new community-led projects were funded in round 2 of our Projects for Belonging. These projects brought art, music, movement, and connection to areas across the district. These ideas reflect what makes Jasper Place so special: people coming together to build a more welcoming, vibrant community.
We’re grateful for every idea, every moment, and everyone who helped make belonging real.
What Belonging Means in Jasper Place
Over the past two years, we connected with community members—hosting conversations at the Orange Hub, interviewing participants, and conducting surveys. All in an effort to explore what belonging means in Jasper Place.
People had a lot to share, and their reflections shaped this project from the ground up. They continue to highlight what matters most here—and offer a foundation for others to keep building on.

We Belong in Jasper Place was about building capacity for people in the area to come together, support one another and contribute to a healthy, connected and resilient west-central Edmonton. Although that work is now coming to a close, the spirit of belonging remains strong.
Together let’s keep working towards a Jasper Place where everyone can thrive.
