Here are open opportunities to help inform municipal planning on proactive rezoning, agriculture, and a community park. Please only answer surveys from municipalities where you are a resident.
- Priority Growth Area Rezoning — The City of Edmonton plans to proactively rezone properties in areas it expects will host the most near-term growth. The rezoning will affect Wîhkwêntôwin, the 124 Street corridor, the 156 Street and Stony Plain corridors, and the University-Garneau area. A survey for residents to provide feedback has been extended until Sept. 23.
- Urban Agriculture Plan — The City of Leduc is creating an Urban Agriculture Plan, which primarily aims to support and implement urban and value-added agriculture in the city. Residents can share their thoughts by completing a survey until Sept. 25.
- Edgemont Community Park Development — Based on a past phase of public engagement, the City of Edmonton has produced three draft designs for a community park in the Edgemont neighbourhood. Residents can review the designs, attend an in-person engagement at the River West Christian Church on Sept. 22, or complete an online survey until Oct. 4.

Like all municipalities in the region, the City of Leduc needs to create a plan for urban agriculture, which includes bees, hens, community gardens, and more. (Kevin Holowack)
