CURRENT ENGAGEMENT

From August 15 to September 15, 2023, the Town of Olds will conduct a citizen budget survey. The purpose is to learn about the priorities of local residents and to give them a say in where they would like to see the funding allocated.

Olds Active Mobility Transportation Study
The Town of Olds is looking to improve the experience of walking, biking and rolling for residents and seasonal students in the Town to strengthen connections with communities within the Town and the region.
To extend the reach of the ideas and provide further opportunities for engagement, the Town is conducting an online public survey to better understand the barriers facing residents who use the active transportation network.
Following the survey, the Town will host a virtual interview session with stakeholders that have jurisdictional authority and/or a key role in the community.
Finally, The Town will host another online survey gathering feedback on what we heard and ensuring all ideas are captured. These engagements will be critical in finalizing recommendations for how the town can improve its active transportation network.
