Hi, I'm Shaminder Parmar!
I’ve lived in Edmonton-Ellerslie for a decade and led community improvements as President of the Laurel Community League, Planner at Edmonton Public Schools, and animal rescue advocate. My focus has been to fight for better education, affordable housing, and building bridges between our diverse communities.

For over 15 years, I've been working with local and national animal rescue agencies to rescue, foster, and re-home pups and kitties that may be in difficult circumstances.
For over a decade, I've advocated for and conducted workshops that promote multiculturalism and understanding to communities across Edmonton
I've listened to the voices of constituents to make our communities better. As an urban planner, I've worked for over a decade to advocate for new schools and safer streets.
The best part of my day is spending time with my wonderful wife, Annie—a public school teacher—and our two amazing children, Ranveer (3) and Sartaj (1). I’m motivated to leave them a better world.
✅ END SCHOOL LOTTERIES & CROWDED CLASSES
South Edmonton families are stuck in lotteries because we don’t have enough schools. I’ll fight to build new schools, reduce class sizes, and properly support teachers and staff—so every child can learn close to home.
✅ BUILD THE SOUTH HOSPITAL (ELLERSLIE/127 ST)
The South Edmonton Hospital was promised, then paused. I’ll push to restart construction now—fully funded, fully staffed, and ready to deliver care our growing communities need.
✅ STOP THE AMERICANIZATION OF PUBLIC SERVICES
The UCP is cutting and privatizing key services—from healthcare to AISH. I’ll fight to reverse the damage and protect what makes Alberta and Canada strong: public services for everyone.
✅ LOWER THE COST OF LIVING
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home and manageable bills. I’ll fight for more affordable housing, and push to lower utility and insurance costs so families can breathe easier.
