In October 2025, the Tri-Municipal Region participated in a large-scale provincial housing and service needs estimation. The data highlighted in the report can be used to help inform decision-making across organizations, funders, and government by providing reliable and up-to-date information on housing insecurity, housing stock, and service needs. The community report was released on May 20, 2026 by local municipal partners.

Every four years, following a municipal election, Council develops a new Strategic Plan. This plan sets the direction and priorities for Parkland County and acts as the roadmap that guides both Council and Administration. Council would like to hear from you and receive your feedback on the Strategic Plan. Public input will be collected until June 18, 2026.
