Guiding High River to 2044

The High River Town Plan was officially adopted by Council on October 28, 2024. Final approval is a significant step forward, as the Town Plan will guide future development, growth and planning decisions for High River from now to 2044. Also known as a Municipal Development Plan, is a vital document that acts as a roadmap to guide the Town’s future development and planning decisions. It is also a requirement under the Municipal Government Act and replaces the former 2009 Town Plan. The new Town Plan includes a long-term vision of what life in High River will look like in 20 years

Development of the draft plan was a cooperative effort of the Town Plan Task Force, established in 2022. Task force members included volunteers representing High River residents and Town Council members. They worked closely with Town Administration and engaged the community extensively to envision the "High River of the future."
