The Village of Alberta Beach was incorporated in 1920 and is set on the shores of Lac Ste. Anne approximately 60km West of Edmonton and is primarily used for recreation. Over the years Alberta Beach has become a popular resort to visit which has a combination of permanent and summer residents. Our permanent population taken from the 2016 census is 1018 and on a busy summer weekend can attract 3000 or more visitors. Alberta Beach has a 5-member Council whose term currently runs until 2021.

  • Fires Can Happen - Are You Covered?
    Did you know that the cost of fire suppression by the fire department for a structure fire is payable by the property owner to the fire suppression provider?  Did you know that if a fire department responds to any other sort of fire:  ie)  grass, lawnmower, burn barrel, home alarm, false home alarm, that there will also be a cost to the property owner?

    Most insurance companies standard coverage payable for fire suppression is $10,000.00, this may not be enough to cover the bill of a fire.  Within various municipalities, we have seen fire suppression invoices for grass fires as high as $11,000.00 and invoices for structure fires ranging from $8,000.00 to $28,000.00 and these invoices have come to us through three different fire services providers responding to the various incidents.

    Do you have enough insurance to cover these costs?  Do you need to increase your coverage?   What does your policy say?

    Be sure you take a look at your home insurance policy or talk to your insurance agent.  Most insurance companies provide an option for you to increase your various coverages for very reasonable additional costs.  Ask your provider if your policy covers and what amounts are covered specifically for grassland, fire suppression and call-out costs.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Public Hearings are an opportunity for people who are affected by projects or proposals to address Alberta Beach Council. Public Hearings are required by the Municipal Government Act as part of the adoption or amendment process for statutory plans and the land use bylaw.

The public and other stakeholders can participate in the public hearing process by speaking during the public hearing, or by providing written comments on the subject matter. Any correspondence received after the public hearing cannot be considered by Council, so it is important that concerned parties participate in the hearing.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The Village of Alberta Beach believes in providing the public with opportunities to be engaged in important decisions that affect the community. We encourage public input, and we use public participation to inform our decision-making process when appropriate.

What is public participation? Public participation happens when we ask stakeholders to provide input before we make a decision. For example, we may invite stakeholders to complete a survey or attend an open house so we can learn how they feel about a specific topic.

When is public participation needed? It is necessary when it’s required by Alberta’s Municipal Government Act and other legislation, and when Alberta Beach Council directs Administration to seek public input. There are a variety of circumstances when public participation may be necessary, please see below our Public Participation Policy.

How does public participation take place? We may use a variety of methods public participation: input, consultation and collaboration. Opportunities may include but are not limited to:
Input: In-person, online polls, printed surveys and email
Consultation: Open houses, public hearings, question period at the monthly Council Meetings and workshops.
Collaboration: Joint committees or task forces, able to form recommendations to Council.
