This article is about the Canadian politician. For the American astronomer, see Steve Mandel.
Stephen Mandel (born July 18, 1945) is a Canadian politician and the current mayor of Edmonton, Alberta.
[edit] BiographyMandel received an Associate of Arts Degree from Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Miami University, and his Masters in Political Science from University of Windsor. He moved to Edmonton in 1972 from Windsor, Ontario.[1] He was first elected to the Edmonton City Council in 2001 as a Councillor for Ward 1. In 2004, he won an upset victory by defeating Edmonton's three-term mayor, Bill Smith.[1] Mandel is active with promoting the city's arts and festival scene. He is also an active volunteer with the city's local Heart and Stroke Foundation and with several local Jewish organizations.[2] Mandel is married to Lynn Mandel.[3] They have two children, Rachel and Adam.[1] [edit] Recent historyIn 2006–2007 the city administration has been criticized by some members of the local press on issues relating to infrastructure maintenance.[4][5] In September 2007, Mandel approved the removal from city property of work by Edmonton sculptor Ryan McCourt, after receiving a 700-name petition that alleged McCourt's sculptures had hurt Hindu religious sensibilities.[6][7] Mandel was longlisted for the 2008 World Mayor award.[8] Mandel was the mayor who brought the Indy race to Edmonton in 2008 and 2009, losing millions in both years.[9] Mandel is a huge supporter of the arts, this can be seen from his annual Mayor's Evening for the Arts. An event that had formerly been a simple lunch with the mayor. However seeing it as an opportunity to celebrate the work of local artists, Mandel changed the format in to a festive evening at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music featuring local work and usually ending in a dance party on the stage lead by the Mayor himself.
