Previous Engagement

Phase 1

In Phase 1 engagement, we invited input to help us refine the Ribbon of Green vision and guiding principles, and the Land Management Classification definitions and associated uses. We also asked about challenges and opportunities to help inform draft planning guidance for different areas in the River Valley, and invited early input to inform changes to the existing Area Redevelopment Plan.
Phase 1 What We Heard Report

Phase 2

In Phase 2 engagement, we invited input to help us confirm preliminary visions and direction for each of the 12 reaches within the River Valley and how the Land Management Classifications are applied. We also invited feedback on how decisions are made regarding project proposals in the River Valley.
Phase 2 What We Heard Report

Public and Indigenous Engagement Approach

Help shape the future of Edmonton’s River Valley. Your participation will help create strategic planning guidance for the future of the River Valley and inform how decisions are made for this integral piece of Edmonton’s landscape.

Community input is critical to the success of this project. Through conversations with Edmontonians, Indigenous Nations and Communities, community groups and other municipalities in the region, we will build a shared vision for the future of our River Valley and a clear approach to decision-making over the long term.

Public and Indigenous engagement will be delivered in parallel, connected streams, and there will be opportunities for input in each phase of the project. Participants will be invited to share their lived experience of the River Valley, their knowledge, and the challenges and opportunities they see for the future.
