Building permit values up in January

Building permit values increased significantly in January, despite an overall decrease in the number of permits issued. 56 permits were approved in January with a combined value of $60.6 million, compared to 87 permits issued in January 2019, worth just over $20.5 million. January’s permit values also increased significantly compared to December 2019, when 67 permits were issued totaling $4.2 million.

Notable permits for the month of January include $26.4 million for construction of a six-storey addition to Points West Living phase 2 at 6960 Taylor Drive, $22.8 million for a 90-unit assisted living facility at 4736 30 street, and a permit to construct an industrial building at 6430 Golden West Avenue valued at $3 million.

Monthly permit statistics are available on The City’s website at: Red Deer Open Data Catalogue

After 15 years as a TV reporter with Global and CBC and as news director of RDTV in Red Deer, Duane set out on his own 2008 as a visual storyteller. During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities. This fascination led to Todayville, launched in 2016.

Plan Ahead: Voting May Take a Little Longer This Election Day

Published on

News release from the City of Red Deer

Voters are encouraged to plan their vote and allow a little extra time at the polls this Election Day, Monday, October 20.

Because this year’s election uses Alberta’s new Permanent Elector Registry, voting may take slightly longer than in previous years. Municipalities are required to provide updated voter information back to the province after the election. As a result, many voters will be asked to complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13) at the voting station — even if they are already registered to vote. This ensures that voter information is accurate and up to date. Once the registry information has been updated, all forms are securely shredded.

Additionally, the Permanent Elector Registry is not shared with local school boards, so anyone voting for a School Board Trustee must also complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13).

We appreciate voters’ patience as our election teams work to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot accurately and securely. Once the voting process begins, most voters complete their vote in about 10 minutes.

To help avoid lineups, voters can visit Red Deer Elections website to check real-time wait times at each voting station and choose the location with the shortest line.

Anyone who arrives at a polling station and joins a line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote.

Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make your voice heard in Red Deer’s 2025 Municipal and School Board Election.
