Here are some opportunities to offer your input on civic initiatives, including Edmonton's district planning and animal policies, as well as the feasibility of a museum in Strathcona County.
- Museum & Archives Feasibility Study — Strathcona County council is expecting a presentation in 2024 on a new museum and archive. Partners such as the Strathcona County Museum & Archives, a non-profit run by the Strathcona County Heritage Foundation, are working on a feasibility study. Residents are invited to complete a survey to inform the project until Oct. 12.
- Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw Renewal: Phase 1 of Public Engagement — The City of Edmonton is working on a renewal of its Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw, which is more than 20 years old. An in-person public engagement session is scheduled for Oct. 14 at the Lauderdale Off-Leash Dog Park. Residents can submit online feedback about regulations around dogs, cats, bees, chickens, rabbits, and other domesticated animals until Nov. 5.
- District Planning Engagement Sessions — The City of Edmonton is hosting information and engagement sessions with the team behind the District Planning project, which aims to organize Edmonton into 15-minute districts, guide neighbourhood redevelopment, and simplify land-use policies. The 90-minute sessions aim to help residents understand what the project means for their neighbourhood, allowing them to ask questions and share thoughts. They are happening on Oct. 25, Oct. 26, Nov. 7, and Nov. 16.
