Headshot of Mayor Andrew Knack

Andrew Knack was sworn in as the 37th mayor of Edmonton on October 29, 2025.

Andrew was born in Edmonton, raised in Spruce Grove, and has lived in the west end since 2002. A proud graduate of the University of Alberta, he earned his Bachelor of Commerce in 2006. Before running for City Council, Andrew managed a retail business in West Edmonton Mall and served on both the Meadowlark and Jasper Park Community League boards.

These experiences shaped his approach to leadership: ambitious, collaborative and community-focused. Guided by dedication to public service and inspired by his community, he continued learning and connecting with Edmontonians — a path that led him to City Council in 2013.

Since then, he’s developed a reputation for listening deeply, engaging honestly and standing up for the everyday needs of residents. For three terms, Andrew represented the west end in Wards 1 and Nakota Isga on City Council. Known for his bright blue suits and equally bright outlook, Andrew brings a spirit of openness and optimism to his work.

As a councillor, Andrew led many key initiatives including NextGen, Seniors, Public Engagement and Transportation Innovation. He has also served as the Council representative on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, the City of Edmonton Youth Council, the Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board, Edmonton Public Library Board and the Alberta Municipalities' Executive Committee. He is particularly proud of championing the Lewis Farms Recreation Centre and Library and pushing for more accessible transit for seniors and youth.

Edmonton is a remarkable city with its best days ahead. Andrew is honoured to have the opportunity to serve Edmontonians as Mayor and to build a stronger city together.

Proclamations

A proclamation is a formal document that dedicates a day, week or month to honour a special event, cause or purpose. Proclamations may be requested by Edmonton-based organizations and are intended to recognize initiatives or events that directly impact Edmontonians, including:

  • Civic initiatives and campaigns
  • Charitable or community initiatives
  • Health and public service initiatives
  • Multicultural awareness initiatives or events

The Mayor’s Office may deny requests that are mainly personal, private, partisan, polarizing or commercial in nature. Some requests that do not meet the criteria for a proclamation may instead be considered for a congratulatory certificate.

Mayor's Messages

Mayor's messages are short greetings of about four paragraphs usually written for publication in programs or booklets by organizers of community events or conferences. They are signed by the Mayor and can include his picture if requested.

Certificates of Congratulations

Certificates of congratulations are custom certificates to recognize special events and achievements in the community. Certificates are often presented to people and organizations on reaching a significant milestone in their life or history — an anniversary, birthdays for persons celebrating 65th birthdays and older, certificates to athletes and to businesses on official openings.
