Whitecourt Town Council Update March 11, 2025

Posted on:

Whitecourt will be applying to the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA) for funding to update the Whitecourt FireSmart Community Plan.  The new plan will include hazard and risk assessments, a wildfire mitigation strategy, and a wildfire preparedness guide.

A delegation from Whitecourt’s Twin Town of Yubetsu, Japan will visit May 24-26, 2025.  The delegation will be in Alberta to attend the Alberta/Japan Twinned Municipality Conference, taking place in Stony Plain, and then will travel to Whitecourt for a visit.

Whitecourt is now accepting nominations to the 2025 Volunteer Awards Program – and we want to hear from you!  Tell us who is making a difference in our community by recognizing them with a nomination.  Nomination forms are available at www.volunteerwhitecourt.ca.  National Volunteer Week is April 27 to May 3, 2025, and Whitecourt will be recognizing and thanking volunteers from across the community for the time and energy they contribute to our community.  Watch for information on our website and social media sites on events and activities planned to celebrate our volunteers.

Council has approved the purchase of four trucks per the fleet replacement plan.
