The City of Red Deer is developing Red Deer’s Community Compass: Our Master Plan for Service Delivery—a long-term plan that will guide how we plan, deliver, and improve public-facing services over the next 12 years.

Services like recreation, parks, transit, arts and culture, social supports, emergency response, and more will be included. The plan will help us deliver these services more consistently, transparently, and in alignment with what matters most to our community.

This work was first recommended in the 2021 Value for Money Audit and builds on the City's commitment to continuous improvement. It supports Red Deer’s Vision 2050 and will help ensure all services remain responsive, coordinated, and future-ready.

The Community Compass will:

• Define guiding principles for community services
• Set clear priorities to guide investment and planning
• Support smarter, evidence-based decision-making
• Reflect community feedback, values, and needs

Residents will have multiple opportunities to get involved and help shape the future of community services in Red Deer.
