Red Deerians give feedback for developing Vision 2040 plan

Aug 13, 2022 | 11:08 AM

The City of Red Deer says more than 1,600 people shared ideas as part of a recent initiative called Shape Your Red Deer.

The feedback project is part of The City’s goal to chart the community’s path to 2040.

Feedback was taken April 24 through June 10, with citizens being asked what they currently like about Red Deer, their hopes over the next four years, and their long-term vision.

Input collected is being used to inform City Council’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, as well as The City’s aforementioned Vision 2040 plan.

“Through the public participation, citizens told us that our priority areas are the right ones for The City to focus on over the next four years, and people also gave us a number of suggestions and ideas to achieve it,” said Mayor Ken Johnston. “I want to thank our citizens for partnering with us to set our vision, which will benefit the entire community.”
