DATE: Tuesday, June 20, 2023

TIME: 10:00 AM

After considering the submissions from all parties, the Tribunal will make an annexation recommendation to the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

A hard copy of the annexation application can be viewed at both the City and the County municipal offices during normal business hours. Information about the proposed annexation can also be found on the City's website at https://www.reddeer.ca/annexation.
