The Village of Empress

is nestled between the Red Deer River and the South Saskatchewan River, at the eastern edge of Alberta. There is a wild feel to this quaint village surrounded by expansive farms and ranches, pronghorns, coyotes and so many different species of birds. The recreation opportunities for adventurers and star-gazers are boundless. Come and see for yourself!

Land Use Bylaw Open House – Nov 26, from 5-8pm

Council and Administration are seeking your feedback on the Land Use Bylaw rewrite. Information on the Land Use Bylaw can be found on the landing page. We will be holding an open house on Tue Nov 26 at the Empress Community Hall. We have extended the hours from 5pm to 8pm to ensure that everyone has a chance to provide feedback. Please note that this is an OPEN HOUSE, not a town hall. There will be displays set up and an opportunity for you to speak with the CAO and Palliser Municipal Services (Land Use Bylaw Consultant). After the Open House and surveys are compiled, we will draft a “what we heard” report and suggest changes to Council prior to first reading. A public hearing will be held at a later date to allow an opportunity for more formal feedback.
