In January 2022, the new High River Bylaw Services model is in effect. The Town's Bylaw Services Team will focus on proactive community enforcement and increased public engagement and education. We look forward to working with you.

The role of Bylaw Services is to enhance public safety, contributing to a high quality of life in High River. The Town's Bylaw Services team works out of the High River Fire department building. Please see the new 24/7 Bylaw Complaints Phoneline and General Administration numbers in the sidebar to the right. Residents are also encouraged to use the online Report a Concern form.

Three-hour parking is in place to ensure spaces are available for shoppers and customers of businesses in the Town’s downtown core.

Parking remains free downtown. If you need to park longer please choose nearby free public parking lots.

It is not a far walk to business locations from any public parking lot. Why not enjoy the scenery, make a few other stops and get your steps in?
