Residents in Leduc, Alberta, now have more time to share their opinions on city services and budget priorities as the City of Leduc has extended its annual Budget Planning and Citizen Satisfaction Survey to April 7, 2026. The extension follows reports from residents who did not receive the survey postcard by mail and wanted to ensure their voices were heard.
The survey is being managed by Leger, a third-party polling firm. It gathers community feedback on essential services such as snow removal, fire and ambulance protection, policing, transit, and recreational facilities. This input is used to help inform the city’s long-term budget planning and service delivery.
For the 2026 fiscal year, the city’s operating budget requires $149.1 million in revenue. In December 2025, Leduc City Council approved a 3.8 per cent tax increase to support these operations, a figure that was reduced from an initially projected 6.3 per cent increase. This is the first budget cycle under Mayor Lars Hansen, who was elected in October 2025.
Participation remains open for all residents, and those who complete the survey can enter a draw for a $150 gift card to a local business of their choice. Past results from 2023 indicated a strong level of local engagement, with 73 per cent of residents rating the overall quality of life in the city as excellent or very good. Residents can submit their feedback online through the official city survey portal.
