Input opportunities continue for Red Deer’s permanent shelter

Jun 7, 2022 | 4:44 PM

Officials with the City of Red Deer say residents and community partners still have an opportunity to provide input on the permanent shelter site criteria, and additional areas of the project.

The following are the input opportunities this week:

ONLINE

  • The online survey continues to be available until 4:30 p.m. on June 10. Citizens wanting to participate in the online survey can access it here.

IN-PERSON

  • The City is hosting three in-person sessions at Westerner Park on both June 8 and 9 (1-3 p.m., 3:30-5:30 p.m., 6:15-8:15 p.m.). Each session is limited to 25 participants.
  • June 8: register here.
  • June 9: register here. (limited spaces available)

EMAIL

  • For input on the permanent shelter outside of site criteria, citizens and community partners are asked to email shelter@reddeer.ca. All emails received prior to Monday June 13 will be included in administration’s report to council on June 20.

Officials say the input opportunities allow the City to discuss and dig into site criteria with the intent to inform a city council decision about the future site of a permanent shelter in Red Deer.

Administration will present a ‘what we heard’ report to council on June 20. Following this meeting, site criteria will be finalized which will guide the site selection process.
