Edify Unfiltered

If you live in Edmonton, chances are you know Amy Quon of The Lingnan and Chicken for Lunch. She’s also been named one of Edify’s 6 Who Inspire 2025. Amy joins Trudy and Steve to talk about the Lingnan’s history in the city and the place it has in the lives of Edmontonians. 

6 Who Inspire honours community organizers, business owners, philanthropists and mentors who make Edmonton a great city to live in, and have done so for years, or even decades. It’s Edify’s way of celebrating the Edmontonians who are leading the way, exemplifying the energy, focus and innovation that builds us all up.
