Town of Stony Plain

What Town of Stony Plain does

The Town of Stony Plain is a municipal government entity located in Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada, founded in 1892. It serves approximately 18,738 residents with a staff of 51-100 employees and provides essential municipal services including utilities, roads, public safety, property taxation, waste management, parks and recreation, and community development. The Town operates through five physical locations (Town Hall, Public Works, Cemetery, Youth Centre, and Community and Social Development office) and digital channels built on the Govstack platform, Unit4 ERPx for enterprise resource planning, and a Serenic-based Online Services Portal for property tax payments, utility billing, and permit applications. Revenue is primarily generated through property taxes, with secondary streams from business licenses, development permits, cemetery services, facility rentals, and event admission. The Town is governed by an elected Council under the Alberta Municipal Government Act, with policy direction set through a Corporate Plan budget process and a new Strategic Plan covering 2026-2029.

The Town's service portfolio extends beyond core municipal functions to include community programming and economic development. Notable programs include a Youth Centre (operating since 2004), SeniorConnect Tri-Region partnership with City of Spruce Grove and Parkland County, a Youth Mental Health Clinic in partnership with WestView Primary Care Network, and a 40-year sister city exchange program with Shikaoi, Japan (established 1985). Economic development is supported through the Invest Stony Plain initiative and Business Retention and Expansion Program. Strategic infrastructure projects include a Community Recreation Facility (construction began Q3 2024, opening late 2026), a new municipal cemetery, and a fibre optic infrastructure partnership with Ledcor and Fibre Connect. The Town's customer base is geographically restricted to residents, businesses, and visitor segments within Stony Plain, with no affiliated parent company, subsidiaries, or investor backing.
