The public information sessions are free to attend and will provide education on the MDP and allow residents to share feedback on key focus areas and updated policies.

What is the MDP?

A MDP sets the long-term community vision and can be seen as the overarching community strategic plan, driving the community's future growth and development.

The MDP is a statutory plan prepared by a municipality under the authority of the Municipal Government Act. All municipalities in Alberta, regardless of size, are required to prepare an MDP.

MDPs are the highest-level statutory plan approved by a municipal council, responsible for guiding all other statutory plans.
