Parkland County recognizes the value of public engagement and its importance in decision-making.
Current Engagement Opportunities:
Below is a list of our current public engagement opportunities. Be sure to check back often for upcoming opportunities where you can provide feedback on County projects.
Mini Storage Land Use - virtual open house
We want to define a new land use class for mini storage in the County to streamline the development permit process to better suit resident and business needs. To do so, changes will need to be made to our current Land Use Bylaw (LUB) 2017-18. These changes will give businesses the opportunity to apply for mini storage developments within the County; in turn residents may notice mini storage facilities in our commercial and industrial areas that can better meet their storage needs.
If you are interested in developing or using a mini storage facility in the County, be sure to attend our Virtual Open House to have your say on the new land use class for mini storage developers!
| Please note: Existing storage businesses will not be affected by these changes. |
| What is a land use class? |
| A land use class is a new use, or type of development, allowed in the County. |
| What are mini storage developments? |
| Mini storage facilities are buildings, individual units of space/containers, or storage lockers used for a variety of personal or business storage needs (furniture/household item storage, commercial storage, cars, recreational vehicles, etc.) |
We look forward to “seeing” you virtually at the open house, and receiving your feedback!

Provincial and Federal Opportunities
There are often public engagement surveys conducted by the Provincial and Federal Government that affect Parkland County residents. View the current provincial engagement opportunities
Alberta Budget 2021 Consultation
The Government of Alberta (GoA) is planning for Budget 2021 and wants to hear from you!
The world has changed since the last provincial budget in February. Alberta now faces a very different set of circumstances and unique challenges. Being hit especially hard by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price collapse, Alberta has experienced decreased revenues, increased expenses, higher than anticipated debt, and a record high deficit, and now faces a debt burden of $99.6 billion, or $22,400 per Albertan.
Your input will help inform tough decisions to ensure we can continue providing important programs and services, get Alberta out of debt and on the path to a prosperous future. This engagement will explore the following topics:
- reducing costs
- prioritizing how revenue should be spent
- seeking opportunities for saving
- looking for ways to strengthen the economy
The GoA needs Albertans to share their views and priorities for the province by taking part in an online survey and joining telephone town halls with Finance Minister Travis Toews.

Learn more and view the telephone town hall schedule on the Alberta's Budget 2021 Consultation page. |
Provide your feedback, take the survey today!
Survey closes December 4, 2020.
