Mayor’s Message: Leading the Village Towards a Bright Future
November 2023
I am thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to represent the Village of Alberta Beach as Mayor. It is an honor to serve the community and work towards its betterment. One of the key aspects of effective governance is collaboration and teamwork. I am looking forward to working closely with the Council to address the various challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. By fostering an environment of open communication and cooperation, we can make informed decisions that benefit the entire community. Together, we will strive to create an inclusive and vibrant Village that residents will continue to be proud to call home.
Over the past summer, we have successfully completed a number of paving and drainage projects in the Village. These initiatives aim to improve the overall infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for our residents. By investing in these essential upgrades, we are ensuring the safety and convenience of everyone in the community. The completion of these projects is a testament to our commitment to sustainable development and maintaining the Village’s growth.
Economic growth and prosperity are vital for the well-being of any community. I am delighted to celebrate that we have welcomed several new businesses to the Village over the past six months. These establishments bring a fresh wave of opportunities, creating jobs and contributing to the local economy. As a Council, we are committed to fostering a business-friendly environment and supporting the growth and success of both new and existing businesses in our Village.
As the holiday season approaches, we are excited to announce the launch of our annual Christmas Light Up contest, which will be held on Saturday, December 16th. This event not only brings joy and excitement to our Village but also encourages community engagement and creativity. Residents are invited to decorate their homes with dazzling lights and festive displays, spreading cheer throughout the neighborhood. The winners will be recognized for their efforts, and the contest will undoubtedly add to the vibrant spirit of the holidays in our Village.
Community engagement is the backbone of a thriving Village. We believe in the power of collective efforts and the strength that comes from a connected community. One of the primary ways we encourage community engagement is through your attendance at our Regular Council Meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Your participation and involvement are crucial in shaping the direction and future of our community. If you have any questions, comments or ideas please reach out to myself at kellymuir@albertabeach.com or administration at aboffice@albertabeach.com. You can also check out the Village’s website, albertabeach.com or call the Village Office at (780) 924-3181.
I am excited to continue to work with Council, administration, residents, businesses, community groups and other municipalities towards a bright future. Together, we can overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and make our Village an even better place to live, work, and play!
Sincerely,
Kelly Muir, Mayor
