CTV News Edmonton spoke with five of the candidates and asked them what their ideal day in Edmonton would be.

Tim Cartmell

Cartmell says his ideal day in Edmonton is being outside at a summer event like a Riverhawks game, Symphony Under the Sky or Folk Fest enjoying the weather.

Rahim Jaffer

Jaffer says a perfect day in Edmonton involves going for a walk in the river valley with his son and trying a new restaurant.

Andrew Knack

For Knack, a perfect “me” day would be going for a bike ride through the river valley, grabbing ice cream, getting a video game from the library and playing that game.

Omar Mohammad

Mohammad says the best thing to do in the city is grabbing coffee from a local shop and going for a walk in the river valley.

Michael Walters

Walters says he loves going to places like the Italian Centre and the Garneau Theatre with his family and spending time on the North Saskatchewan River.
