Calls for public engagement: Single-use items, Windsor Park rezoning

The City of Edmonton's single-use item reduction bylaw came into effect in 2023. In July, fees for reusable bags increased to $2, and fees for paper bags increased to 25 cents. Past surveys showed Edmontonians have divided views on the bylaw. (Kevin Holowack)

Here are opportunities to help shape municipal planning about single-use items, housing, zoning, and more. Please only answer surveys from the municipality where you live.

  • Single-use Item Reduction Bylaw Surveys — The City of Edmonton is looking for feedback on its single-use item reduction bylaw, which requires businesses to charge for paper and reusable bags, restricts the use of non-reusable items, requires businesses to accept customers' reusable cups, and more. A survey for residents and a survey for businesses both close Nov. 19.
  • November Mixed Topic Survey — This month, the City of Edmonton is seeking views from residents about affordable and supportive housing, the naming of city-owned facilities, illegal dumping at apartments and condos, and communications for Valley Line West LRT updates. The survey closes Nov. 19.
  • Windsor Park Rezoning — The City of Edmonton has received an application to rezone 11630 87 Avenue NW, currently a commercial zone, to allow for, at maximum, a 25-storey mixed-use tower. The proposal is also to rezone 8715 and 8719 117 Street NW to allow a mixed-use development of about four storeys. That lot is currently zoned as small-scale residential. Residents can ask questions or share thoughts on a discussion board until Nov. 24.
