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
Local election rules engagement
The provincial government wants to hear from Albertans – including voters, elected officials, community advocacy groups and campaign volunteers – on how the rules can be improved to enhance transparency and participation in local elections, so they have opened consultation on the rules that govern municipal and school board elections in order to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of Albertans.
Feedback will help ensure the Local Authorities Election Act meets Albertans’ needs and that local elections remain fair, transparent and inclusive.
Survey available until March 4, 2020.
