  • Public Hearing May 12, 2026

    You are invited to provide input on Bylaw 2106-26.

  • Street Sweeping Begins April 19
    Fingers crossed that we aren't jinxing the weather by announcing this, but street sweeping will begin on Sunday, April 19!
    Crews will begin sweeping boulevards on Sunday at 10 p.m. Once the boulevards are complete, they will begin sweeping priority routes throughout the city before moving onto residential streets. Work will take place Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. until all streets have been swept.
    Please keep an eye out for No Parking signs in your area and move vehicles off the street to allow crews to complete a thorough sweep. Crews will not return to areas where parts of the street cannot be cleaned due to parked vehicles.

  • Clarification on Municipal Policing

    The City of Wetaskiwin receives policing services through the RCMP under the Municipal Police Service Agreement. The City has not initiated any formal review, feasibility study, or consultation process regarding alternative policing models. The Mayor’s remarks during his State of the Region address reflected his personal thoughts about long-term possibilities, not a Council decision or policy direction. Any future consideration of changes to policing services would require comprehensive analysis, Council deliberation, and extensive community consultation. The City values its partnership with the RCMP and is committed to ensuring Wetaskiwin residents receive effective, responsive policing services.
