Yorkton residents have until April 20, 2026, to share their thoughts on a new concept plan for commercial and industrial development at the Legacy Co-op site. The City of Yorkton has released details of the proposal, which includes infrastructure plans for the area.

The public can review the concept plan and submit written feedback to the City by 9:00 a.m. on April 15, 2026. Comments must be directed to Jessica Matsalla, Director of Legislation & Procedures. All submissions will be considered before a public hearing scheduled for April 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. In-person feedback can be given at the public hearing.

If approved, the concept plan will guide future development on the Legacy Co-op lands. It outlines key details such as parcel configuration, street networks, drainage, and municipal utilities. The plan aligns with Yorkton‘s broader economic growth strategy, which has seen increasing industrial investment in recent years.

Legacy Co-operatives Association Limited, a long-standing community staple, owns the site. Originally incorporated as Yorkton Co-operative Association Limited in 1940, the co-op has grown to include locations like a Food Centre, Agro Centre, gas bars, and cardlock fuel outlets across Yorkton and surrounding areas. The proposed development is expected to further support the local economy and infrastructure needs.

The City’s 2026 capital budget includes over $6 million for projects like roads, utilities, and community facilities, reflecting Yorkton‘s focus on growth and infrastructure improvements. Mayor Aaron Kienle has emphasized the importance of smart planning and economic development in 2026, following a year dedicated to laying the groundwork for future progress.

For more information or to submit comments, residents can contact Michael Eger, Director of Planning, Building & Development, at (306) 786-1710.
