The City of Leduc, Alberta, is asking residents to help decide the future of local recreation and wellness programs as the community continues to grow. City leaders launched a new study on March 26, 2026, to learn what types of activities and facilities the community needs most over the coming years.
An online survey will be open from April 13 to April 30, 2026, and is expected to take residents about 10 minutes to complete. The city will also host 90-minute small group conversations in May 2026 to gather more detailed feedback before a final report is shared with the public in July.
This initiative comes as Leduc’s population reached nearly 40,000 people in 2025. Local officials want to ensure that services at large hubs like the Leduc Recreation Centre meet the needs of a city that has added more than 4,500 new residents since 2021.
Recent city data showed that while most people are happy with city services in general, satisfaction with recreation buildings dropped from 32 per cent in 2015 to 23 per cent in 2023. Mayor Lars Hansen and the city council will use the new feedback to help set priorities for future parks and leisure projects.
The city’s 2026 budget includes $149.1 million for daily operations like fire response, transit, and recreation. Current plans for this year include building an accessible lookout at Lions Park on Telford Lake and a permanent dog park in the Deer Valley neighbourhood.
