Highlights of January 19 Council meeting

North Glenmore Sector Study

Council received a report on the North Glenmore Sector Study and directed staff to continue with Phases 3 and 4. The study is an exploratory step identified in the Official Community Plan to understand how growth could extend beyond the City's growth boundary if needed over the next 30 to 50 years. So far, the study has mapped the land, identified environmentally sensitive areas, and explored early growth concepts such as where walkable clusters of homes, parks and services could be located. The next phases will narrow these ideas to one preferred option and look in more detail at things like future road connections, transit potential, water and sewer needs, as well as long-term cost implications.

Council approved the Value for Money 2026 engagement plan which includes three reviews: affordable housing projects, the City’s investment in RDCOs regional economic development programs, and fire dispatch services. These reviews will use data analysis, staff interviews and performance assessment to evaluate how well each area is working and whether it is delivering value for the City.
