Building a Downtown That Shines: Hiregood’s Role in Safety, Vibrancy, and Community

Downtown Edmonton isn’t just a place—it’s a pulse. From the early morning rhythm of the Farmers’ Market to the late-night energy of festivals and live music, this core is alive with possibility. But behind the scenes of every successful event, clean sidewalk, and welcoming public space are the people working hard to make it happen.

At Hiregood, we’re proud to be part of that effort.

Boots on the Ground for a Brighter Downtown

Our team provides litter collection, groundskeeping, and frontline support to help keep downtown Edmonton clean, safe, and inviting. Through our ongoing partnership with the Edmonton Downtown Business Association, we help maintain high-traffic areas and provide extra care for events like the Downtown Farmers Market on 104 Street, which runs every Saturday through the summer.

When the streets are clean and the atmosphere is welcoming, people feel more comfortable spending time downtown. That’s what vibrancy looks like—and we’re proud to play a role in creating it.

Safety Is Built, Not Patrolled

There’s often a misconception that safety starts with enforcement. But we’ve seen firsthand that real safety starts with presence, care, and consistency. Our crews are out there every week not just removing litter, but building trust, offering friendly faces, and keeping the environment respectful and accessible for everyone.

This isn’t just good for public perception—it’s good for people. It makes downtown a space that feels cared for, which encourages more visitors, more community connection, and more local business success.

Summer in the City Starts Here

If you’ve been looking for a reason to come downtown, this is your sign. There’s a full calendar of summer events happening right in the heart of Edmonton—from artisan markets and festivals to live music and food trucks.

Creating Opportunity While Creating Impact

For our staff, working downtown means more than a paycheck—it means stability, purpose, and pride. Many of our team members are rebuilding their lives, and the chance to contribute to a thriving downtown helps create that momentum. When you see a member of our team out in the streets, know that they’re not just cleaning up—they’re stepping forward.

Stable jobs create stable lives. And stable communities grow stronger when everyone has a role to play.
