      Danny Heikkinen – City Councillor Candidate

      by sellisSeptember 29, 2025

       

      Introducing Danny Heikkinen

      Meet Danny Heikkinen, who is running to join our City Council in Ward sipiwiyiniwak. We have asked all candidates to share their thoughts on the Edmonton Public Library through a short questionnaire. Here's what Danny had to say. 

      Q&A with Danny Heikkinen

      What is your favourite library memory or experience?

      When I went to the school library at SBS junior high, and took out a Brian Jacques book Salamandastron, and fell in love with the world it that he created in his books. I have most of them at this point still.

      What is one book you think everyone should read and why?

      I think that everyone should read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It is easy to pick up, has great pacing and character development, and does a fantastic job of world building. It is part of a trilogy and is frankly one of the best in recent memory I have read.

      What vital role does EPL play in a thriving and vibrant Edmonton?

      EPL provides services beyond merely lending out books, literacy, digital skills training, mentorship, job search support, access to Wi-Fi and computers for those without. These are services that are not really provided in any other single place and would be difficult to replicate.

      If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?

      Green Lantern is probably my favorite fictional character, because your power resides in willpower and imagination, so the only limits are those you place on yourself. Also the ability to fly is pretty cool to be honest, who hasn't wished for that power at some point.

      What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned at your local library?

      When I was younger I learned that books could be sent to other libraries, so that nothing was out of reach for me.

      If you could host a program at the library, what would it be about?

      How to take up writing. I have several book ideas for some fictional writing I hope to take up, and would love to share whatever I learn from the process with others wondering about taking up the craft.
