A Shared Vision

From January 2014 to February 2015, St. Albert residents were asked to help develop a vision to guide the city’s planning and decision-making for the next 50 years. More than 6,000 residents shared over 15,000 ideas, which were used to help create the vision and five complementary Pillars of Sustainability. The resulting document, called Cultivating Our Future, was approved by City Council in June 2016 and provides the foundation for Flourish.
