The Town of Rocky Mountain House has received a $200,000 grant from the Alberta Community Partnership Program to explore municipal restructuring.

Town officials say the grant, awarded by Minister of Municipal Affairs Kaycee Madu, will allow them to conduct a municipal regional governance restructuring study that also considers both Clearwater County and the Village of Caroline.

“Like Minister Madu, the Town of Rocky Mountain House Council recognizes the importance of proactively exploring options for municipal restructuring. I look forward to reaching out to our municipal neighbours to invite their meaningful participation in this project,” said Mayor Tammy Burke.

“The Town of Rocky Mountain House values our partnerships with neighbouring municipalities, and understands that residents are asking for efficient, responsible government. This grant allows us to explore the best options for our regional community. Ultimately, these are community decisions and residents will have opportunity to participate in the discussions.”
