City of Red Deer
Got a big idea for city council? Here’s your chance to share it.
Red Deerians are invited to “Shape your Red Deer”
What version of Red Deer do you see in the short, medium, and long-term? How do we get there? Help us envision Red Deer’s future and chart the path we, as a city and community, want to take.
Launching today is an online engagement tool, where participants will be asked to provide their big ideas and dreams for Red Deer over the next twenty years, input on what The City should focus on over the next four years, and thoughts on what should guide municipal decision making. This engagement site will close on May 22.
To RSVP to either session, please visit www.reddeer.ca/2040.
“Feedback gathered as part of Shape your Red Deer will influence the future projects and work that The City of Red Deer will undertake in the short, medium and long-term. We are asking our community to inform City Council’s new Strategic Plan and our Vision 2040 plan,” said Interim City Manager Tara Lodewyk. “We encourage all Red Deerians to be part of this exciting time and share their ideas with us by participating in the online or in-person workshops, or with the online engagement tool.”
Share your vision and ideas at upcoming public engagement opportunities, offered both in-person and online. Your feedback will be used to help shape Council’s next Strategic Plan, and Vision 2040, which will influence the work The City of Red Deer does over the next four to twenty years.
Public Participation Opportunities:
There are several ways to provide your input as part of Shape your Red Deer, including an in-person workshop, an online workshop, and an online engagement tool that can be done at whatever time is convenient to you. All residents are invited to share their ideas and participate.

The Strategic Plan is City Council’s direction to the organization for the benefit of the community. A new strategic planning process begins every four years, with the swearing in of a new City Council. City Council determines its strategic plan based on several factors including, but not limited to, things they heard from citizens on the campaign trail, information shared with City Council from administration, and information collective during the public participation process directly connected to the strategic plan.

News release from the City of Red Deer
Voters are encouraged to plan their vote and allow a little extra time at the polls this Election Day, Monday, October 20.
Because this year’s election uses Alberta’s new Permanent Elector Registry, voting may take slightly longer than in previous years. Municipalities are required to provide updated voter information back to the province after the election. As a result, many voters will be asked to complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13) at the voting station — even if they are already registered to vote. This ensures that voter information is accurate and up to date. Once the registry information has been updated, all forms are securely shredded.
Additionally, the Permanent Elector Registry is not shared with local school boards, so anyone voting for a School Board Trustee must also complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13).
We appreciate voters’ patience as our election teams work to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot accurately and securely. Once the voting process begins, most voters complete their vote in about 10 minutes.
To help avoid lineups, voters can visit Red Deer Elections website to check real-time wait times at each voting station and choose the location with the shortest line.
Anyone who arrives at a polling station and joins a line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote.
Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make your voice heard in Red Deer’s 2025 Municipal and School Board Election.
