Residents, who provide input on the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), can also qualify for a chance to win some prizes.

Eight prizes worth a total of $500 are available for participants of the MDP survey.

The RMWB announced it will form a new MDP, which will outline the vision and blueprint for sustainable growth and development in the region over the next 20 years.

Participants of the survey, which is available on the Municipality’s website, could win one of the following:

  • Two $100 McMurray Money prizes
  • Three $50 Superstore gift cards
  • Three $50 Canadian Tire gift cards

 

The Municipality developed the current MDP in 2011 during the “boom” years of increased oilsands production and investments.

Since that time, there was the wildfire, oil price collapse, economic downturn, floods, and a pandemic.

“It’s time to have a new plan that reflects the present-day conditions facing Wood Buffalo. The new MDP will be created with input from residents throughout Wood Buffalo to ensure it reflects local values, opportunities and challenges.”

The survey remains online until Nov. 1, 2020.
