Public notice process changes Feb. 1

Friday, January 17, 2025

Starting Feb. 1, 2025, public notices will no longer be advertised in the local newspaper (The Leduc Rep). They will only be advertised on the City’s website (Leduc.ca/PublicNotices). 

A new Advertising Bylaw was approved last year that outlines how public notices about government business are advertised to residents. The bylaw focuses on keeping residents informed in a timely and effective manner through digital means. 

As of Feb. 1, 2025, residents will find public notices on the City’s website 14 days in advance of the applicable date. These notices will include information on how, when, and where the public can request further information or provide comments to Council or City staff. 

Public notices are published in accordance with the Municipal Government Act (MGA) to keep the community informed of opportunities for input on local government business. The City is required to give notice to the public on a variety of different matters, such as:    

  • Bylaw Amendments   
  • Financial Bylaws  
  • Notice of Development Permits   
  • Public Hearings   
  • General Notices   

See current public notices at Leduc.ca/PublicNotices. 

Note: The City has the discretion to use other means of advertising public notices, including the newspaper; however, this will be supplemental in nature to the City’s minimum requirement to post public notices on Leduc.ca.
