Meet Mon R.

Student Planner
City of Edmonton

Winter 2022 (8 Month Term)

“Currently, I am working with the City of Edmonton in the Development Permit Inspection team. I review approved Development Permits and perform on-site inspections in Edmonton's mature neighborhoods, ensuring that Infill Development is being built according to their permits and zoning bylaws. While performing these tasks, I collaborate with developers and community members to make sure Infill Development makes a positive impact in the community and throughout the city.

My work term has me involved and exposed to the processes of Infill Development in Edmonton. As the Edmonton City Plan calls for more Infill Development within our city in the coming decades, I strive to become knowledgeable with the Infill process to propel me into the development industry as a young professional. I also seek to develop relationships within the planning department to broaden my career paths in the future. In the long term, I hope this work experience will help in achieving the city's Infill goal, while creating vibrant and sustainable communities for generations.”
