The City of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, is inviting residents to share their opinions on several major community projects through surveys and in-person meetings. This feedback process is designed to ensure that upcoming developments in health, recreation, and utility services align with the needs of the local population as the city grows.
Key projects currently open for discussion in 2026 include the construction of the Helmuth Ritter Fire Station and a new aquatics facility for local families. Other initiatives include a program for sump pump retrofits to help manage home drainage and a new electronic message board to share community information at the Dow Centennial Centre.
The City of Fort Saskatchewan Council uses this resident input to help guide the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. This plan acts as a long-term guide for municipal growth and helps the city balance industrial development with the recreational needs of residents as the population moves toward a target of 50,000 people.
Residents are also encouraged to provide feedback on the Wastewater System Master Plan, which manages how the city handles sewage and water drainage for the future. The city is using both digital surveys and in-person sessions to gather these ideas and foster transparency between the local government and the community.
Community members can participate by visiting the official city portal to fill out digital surveys or by attending town hall meetings to speak with city staff. These public engagement efforts are intended to give residents a sense of ownership over how their community evolves before any final plans are approved.
