Meet Mayor Knack

Andrew Knack was elected in October 2025 as the 37th Mayor of Edmonton.

Born in Edmonton and raised west of the city in Spruce Grove, Andrew returned to Edmonton to earn his Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Alberta in 2002. He went on to manage a successful business, an experience that helped shape his approach to building strong relationships and meaningful community connections.

Inspired by local advocacy through his roles on the Meadowlark and Jasper Park Community League boards, Knack ran for Councillor for Ward Nakota Isga (formerly Ward 1) and was elected in 2013. He served three terms as a Councillor and is best known for his work to secure improved transit and amenities for west end neighbourhoods. Knack has also served on the Alberta Municipalities Executive Committee and as Council’s representative on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, the City of Edmonton Youth Council, the Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board, and the Edmonton Public Library Board.

Mayor Knack’s leadership is rooted in honest, transparent engagement with everyday Edmontonians. His focus is on affordability, safety, economic development, and strengthening the support needed for a growing city. He is honoured to serve as Mayor and to work alongside all residents to build a stronger Edmonton together.
