She may host her own things but they are not very clearly promoted and I've never seen her at a community event. The exact opposite of our MLA, Janis, who is everywhere. Even Caterina made the effort to come to community festivals, local school events, and other community gatherings. And her office often does not respond to emails, even to say they have acknowledged them.
The issues we've been trying to raise include: The systematic and illegal deforestation of Kinnaird (Rat) Creek Ravine by a small group of street involved folks, she has not responded to any of the multiple requests to come view the damage or even talk to the Friends of Kinnaird Ravine whom she promised to connect with during the campaign and then has ignored since.
The lack of any public transit access to the ACT Centre in Rundle Park. A City of Edmonton recreation facility that has ZERO public transit running to it so low income folks with Leisure Access Passes cannot use it.
Lastly, any sort of communication or planning around the demolition of the Coliseum. Yes, she got the motion passed to finally demolish the damn thing but she's been completely silent when it comes communicating with the community about it and advocating to speed up the plan so it stops being a vacant wasteland in the middle of our community
All 3 of these are distinctly CoE issues and can't be blamed on being out of jurisdiction.
Basically, she may be the darling of urbanists but her ground game is quite poor. I was overjoyed when Caterina was no longer our councillor but have been disappointed since.
Her social media is full of community events, many with MLA Irwin. Here is update on Coliseum as well.
