As Taber continues to grow and evolve, exploring city status is a natural step in shaping our community’s future and ensuring we meet the needs of our expanding population.

As we move forward in our public engagement process, we understand that you may have many questions. This page is designed to provide you with answers and information on various topics related to the potential transition, as well as provide you opportunities to have your say.

This page is constantly being updated as we receive new questions from the public or host more public engagement opportunities. We encourage you to check back regularly for the latest information and updates.

Public Engagement Opportunities 

Council is currently exploring the possibility of becoming a city, but no final decision has been made. Public feedback is crucial in this process, and we want to hear your voice. 

The Minister of Municipal Affairs also requires assurance that the community has been thoroughly engaged and demonstrates support before any decision is made. Community input and support are essential considerations throughout this exploration phase.

All Taberites are encouraged to participate in any of the following:

  • Taber- Proposed City Status Survey

    • Closed October 4th at 4:00 PM. Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback. A report of the findings was provided to Council at their October 15th meeting, which you can read here.
