What We Do
The YEG Ambassadors Program is a partnership between REACH Safety Council of Edmonton, the City of Edmonton, and the North Edge Business Association in the Edmonton core.
We connect businesses, individuals, and organizations to services and resources to build safe, vibrant, and economically thriving communities in Edmonton.
Our vision is to meet specific local and diverse cultural, social and economic needs and make the Edmonton core a desirable place to live, work, and visit.
