The City of Red Deer is in the planning phases for the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and Vision 2040. We are seeking public input to help inform these plans that will influence what The City does, and how over the short, medium and long-term. Through Shape your Red Deer, chart our community’s path through 2040 we are asking residents, businesses, staff and community partners to provide their input and ideas on these plans.
Shape your Red Deer

In Spring 2022, 1600+ Red Deerians told us their vision for Red Deer through online engagement, online and in-person workshops, and at a variety of community events. Resident feedback, ideas and input are being used to develop City Council's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, as well as The City's Vision 2040 plan.

The Strategic Plan is City Council’s direction to the organization for the benefit of the community. A new strategic planning process begins every four years, with the swearing in of a new City Council. City Council determines its strategic plan based on several factors including, but not limited to, things they heard from citizens on the campaign trail, information shared with City Council from administration, and information collective during the public participation process directly connected to the strategic plan.
The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan is expected to be completed in Fall 2022. The final version will be shared with the public at that time.
Vision 2040 is a long-term plan to identify a vision for Red Deer over the next 20 years and identify actions The City and community can take to realize a shared vision.
