Forget voting machines. Hand counting is now the law in Alberta. #RedDeer is hiring 300+ workers JUST to count votes in the municipal election. But it’s still projected to cost 3.5x more than in 2021. So should we ditch machines forever? Or bring them back? #CommunityStrongAB

Why are #RedDeer residents being asked to pick up the slack in our public parks this summer? Council even expects you to pick up the litter! Cutting services and hours isn’t the answer. Our parks improve our quality of life. They should be properly staffed. #CommunityStrongAB

Big news for downtown Red Deer! The former Welikoklad Event Centre will soon be home to Carnival Cinemas once again. Even better, you’ll be able to enjoy film, theatre, and performing arts all under one roof, creating a stronger, more vibrant downtown! #CommunityStrongAB

Over 450 people in our city are displaying new signs to send a strong message to City Hall: support safe staffing for our firefighters. That means 4 firefighters per truck, not 2. Want a sign? Message @RedDeerFire here on X. We stand with our firefighters. #CommunityStrongAB

TOMORROW Red Deer City Council is holding a public hearing to decide whether or not to move our electric utility to an arms length corporation. What does that mean & how can you help keep power public? Watch our short video to learn more: #KeepPowerPublic #CommunityStrongAB

Changing how our public power is run in Red Deer could open the door to privatization, put city revenue at risk, & drive up your bills. Speak up to keep our power public: reddeer.ca/publichearing. Watch our new video to learn more. #CommunityStrongAB #PublicPower #KeepItPublic

It’s up to YOU whether our publicly owned & operated electric utility in #RedDeer stays public. Use our new Electric Utility Decision Participation Toolkit to learn what’s at stake and how to speak up in person at the public hearing June 23: communitystrongalberta.ca/will-our-power…

We’re happy to see Red Deer City Council taking action on the concerns of residents and local businesses about the paid parking downtown. This is a step towards parking policies that work for the community, not against it. #RedDeer #ParkingReform#CommunityStrongAB

Let #RedDeer City Council know we won’t give up public control of our power without a fight. With a municipal election coming soon they don’t want to lose votes. Add your name before the public hearing June 23: communitystrongalberta.ca/actions/keep-r… #CommunityStrongAB

We’re concerned to hear the sexual assault coverup allegations in a new lawsuit against Red Deer Public Schools. With trustee elections this fall, it’s time to demand accountability. If you need help now call the @CASASC2 24 hr support line: 1-866-956-1099 #CommunityStrongAB
