You can help plan the future for Red Deer’s River Bend Golf and Recreation Area Master Plan
River Bend Golf and Recreation Area Master Plan
About the project
River Bend Golf and Recreation Area (known also as River Bend) is located on 30 Avenue, north of 67 Street. The land is owned by The City of Red Deer and is operated by the River Bend Golf & Recreation Society. This site currently offers the following amenities: River Bend Golf Course, wooded hiking trails, Discovery Canyon, canoeing and fishing, cross country skiing and boat access to the Red Deer River.
The River Bend Golf and Recreation Master Plan will establish a 20-year site vision, identifying guiding principles and actionable strategies to optimize the site with the broadest and most impactful community benefit in mind. The Plan will identify trends in sport, recreation, the natural environment, and consider new and emerging needs, interests, and opportunities while balancing fiduciary responsibilities.
Providing the community and stakeholders with opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas toward a future vision for River Bend Golf and Recreation Area is an important part of the project. We want to hear from citizens to understand not only how they use River Bend today, but also what their aspirations and vision for River Bend in the future.

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.
