Shaping Our Community: Learn more about the work done to-date

The Shaping Our Community process will result in The Shape of Our Community document, Spruce Grove’s new Municipal Development Plan (MDP). An MDP is a policy document providing guidance for decision-making in the short-, medium- and long-terms consistent with the desired future outcomes for our community. All Alberta municipalities are required to adopt an MDP bylaw in accordance with the Municipal Government Act.

During the first round of engagement in October of 2022 Spruce Grove residents identified four key values: Connection, Diversity & Inclusion, Resilience, and Well-Being. During the second round of engagement this Spring, six drivers and their preferences were identified: Economy, Governance & Partnerships, Transportation & Mobility, Urban Form & Placemaking, Environment, and Social.

Since hearing from the Community during the two phases of engagement, policy direction statements were developed from the values, drivers and preferences, which Council endorsed in early August of this year.

The policy direction statements will be used as a guide to write the MDP. The below video shows the August presentation to Council, explaining the details of the values, drivers, preferences, and the policy direction statements that have been created.

Watch the video to learn more about what the MDP is and where we are at with creating The Shape of Our Community. If you have any questions or comments that you would like to share with the project team, please email us at MDP@sprucegrove.org or attend our upcoming in-person drop-in session!
