Here are opportunities to inform municipal decision-making about renaming, rezoning, public art, and more. Please only answer surveys from the municipality where you live.

  • Grandin renaming — The City of St. Albert is considering renaming municipal assets named after Bishop Vital Justin Grandin, who helped create Canada's residential school system. Residents are invited to submit new names based on the municipality's naming policy, which calls for names based on local geographical features, natural elements, Indigenous culture and history, and more. A survey is open until Feb. 21.
  • Windermere Crescent rezoning — The City of Edmonton received a request to rezone a parcel in the Windermere Crescent area from a Rural Residential zone to a Small Scale Flex Residential zone. If the application is approved, the developer will be allowed to subdivide the site and add small-scale housing up to three storeys. Residents can ask a question or share their thoughts to a discussion board until March 2.
  • Public art plan — Strathcona County is updating its public art plan, first developed in 2014. The county has public art installations in 40 locations, including visual art and multimedia pieces like murals and sculptures. Residents can complete a survey until March 5.
