Is there a table for these kinds of things? I feel like this just reads really redundantly as prose.

[edit]-remember to write a short description
check some non-edmonton journal archives so it doesn't look like she's ONLY seen as notable there--she's been in news province-wide with some national coverage. some more references outside alberta would doubly help. edmonton just happens to be where she's done a lot of work, so it made sense to check there first

-not MUCH useful here, but look into the Edmonton Race Relations Council to see if you can find when she joined/left. Sounds interesting, but without dates I can't really slot it in.
