Red Deerians are invited to share their big ideas and dreams for Red Deer as part of a public participation project: Shape your Red Deer, chart our community’s path to 2040.
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:

What is the Strategic Plan?
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.
