PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

Town of Hinton/Yellowhead County
Intermunicipal Development Plan

Yellowhead County and the Town of Hinton are working together to develop a new
Intermuncipal Development Plan (IDP). This plan will address future growth and
development-related matters of joint interest between the municipalities.
The Province of Alberta is implementing new changes to the Municipal Government
Act which now requires all municipalities that share a boundary to prepare an IDP by
April 2020. IDPs are beneficial tools for neighbouring municipalities to provide
guidance for future growth, facilitate joint economic development initiatives, and
provide mechanisms for cooperation in delivering services.

Have your say! The Town and County are hosting a public open house (come-and-
go format) to gather feedback from landowners, residents and stakeholders on the
draft IDP. This feedback will be used by the project team to refine and finalize the
future land use concept and policies.

Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2019
Time: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Place: Government Centre Lobby
131 Civic Centre Rd., Hinton
