Open House at the New Olds Municipal Centre – September 9

The Town of Olds is inviting residents to see their new, consolidated location at an Open House on Tuesday, September 9, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Olds Municipal Centre (OMC) located at 3501 70 Avenue.

Formerly known as the Operations Centre, the OMC now brings most Town services together under one roof. The building’s renovations allowed for an expansion from eight to 45 offices and workstations, as well as five collaborative meeting spaces, and the new Council Chambers. The move improves accessibility, brings teams together for greater efficiency, and reduces long-term operating costs.

Mayor Judy Dahl says the change has already made a difference.

“It is wonderful how we can work together in the new space. There are definite benefits to having our staff in the same building - it allows for faster communication, stronger collaboration, and better service for residents,” said Dahl.

Director of Corporate Services, Sheena Linderman, says the relocation also makes financial sense.

“By moving to the former Operations Centre, we’re using the space we have more efficiently, and have reduced maintenance costs,” said Linderman.

Visitors to the Open House will be able to take a tour, meet staff, visit with our town mascot Oliver Olds, and learn more about the changes. Council Chambers are also located in the new building, with public meetings resuming on August 25.                                                   

The event is open to the public and everyone is welcome to come take a look around, enjoy light refreshments, and ask questions.
