Ward Karhiio

It has been my honour to serve Ward Karhiio on City Council, and to help bring our shared vision to City Hall.

I am committed to representing you, our diverse communities, and your thriving businesses, in the years to come.

Karhiio (pronounced: GAR-EE-HE-O) is a Mohawk word that means “a tall, beautiful forest” and pays tribute to the Michel Band.

This name deeply resonates with Keren as her own journey working with and getting to learn about Indigenous communities in Canada began in Montréal on traditional and unceded Mohawk territory before she moved out west to Edmonton.
