The Strathcona County Priorities Committee is meeting on April 7, 2026, at the Council Chamber in Sherwood Park, Alberta. This meeting provides an opportunity for the public to observe local government discussions regarding community services and county priorities.
The committee, which consists of all members of the Strathcona County Council, holds these sessions to review reports and discuss local matters in detail. Members of the community can attend the meeting in person at the Council Chamber, located on the main floor of the Community Centre at 2001 Sherwood Drive. Alternatively, residents can watch the proceedings through a live webcast.
The meeting day also includes an Open House session beginning at 3 p.m. During this time, residents and local organizations have the chance to make presentations directly to the committee.

This meeting follows a period of significant administrative activity for the municipality, which is home to approximately 107,345 residents and stands as the fifth-largest municipality in Alberta. In December 2025, the local government approved the 2026 budget, which included a 4.88 per cent tax increase.
