Red Deer city council chambers reopens to the public

The City is welcoming members of the media, public, and City staff back in person for city vouncil and Council Committee meetings.

Effective immediately, public, media and staff can attend city council and council Committee meetings in person for the first time in over two years. Council meetings first shifted to a virtual setting at the start of the pandemic, and while council has since returned to meet in person, public viewing has remained virtual until now.

“We are excited to welcome staff, public and members of the media to attend council meetings in person once again,” said Lisa Perkins, Corporate & Employee Services General Manager. “This is a wonderful opportunity for people to re-engage in City matters and a welcome sign that we are continuing to work our way back to more regular pre-pandemic operations.”

City council meetings will continue to be live-streamed for those who wish to tune in online.
