Community Engagement

Help Shape Our Town!

Town Council is formally responsible for making decisions that represent the interests and values of the community. Community engagement is how residents and affected or interested parties are informed, consulted and heard before those decision are made. 

Whether you live in Okotoks, work, or own a business here, your voice is valued and important. We understand you care about Town decisions that affect you and believe decisions are improved by engaging you on these issues. We believe that meaningful community engagement will build relationships, increase shared understanding, and lead to better solutions and a stronger community. 

Shape Our Town

The Town has a new engagement site, where you can learn about opportunities to share your voice and perspective on the programs and services that matter to you. This platform is your portal to engagement—all in one convenient location and available 24/7. Every project has its own page that includes timelines, in-person events, and online engagement opportunities. Plus, you can sign up to stay informed at every step of the project(s) you are interested in and be notified when new opportunities arise. 

On Shape Our Town you’ll find forums, stories, maps, idea sharing, voting, contests, and more (including surveys!), depending on the project. Help shape our town:

Background on Engagement

The Town of Okotoks has always worked diligently to communicate with and involve our citizens. Over the past decade, care has been taken to recognize the growing demand for open and two-way communication – this means listening to citizens, gathering feedback, and responding to the expanding influence of technology while still respecting a broad range of communication channels for different needs.
