Saskatoon is building a dry pond in Cahill Park to stop flooding near 21st Street West and Avenue W South. At least 10 buildings have flooded during heavy storms. The pond will hold rainwater temporarily, then drain within 24 hours. The ball diamond...
Why This Matters: Live near Cahill Park or use it regularly? The park will be closed from February 2026 until fall 2027. The ball diamond is going away permanently. If you've had water in your basement during storms, this project could finally fix that. About 10 homes near 21st and Avenue W have flooded repeatedly.

Why This Matters: Got a dog in St. James? This could give you a safe, fenced space to let them run free. The design includes separate areas for big and small dogs, so your pup can play with dogs their own size.

Edmonton wants to know where you feel unsafe walking, biking, or driving in Falconer Heights. The city is testing temporary traffic calming measures—like speed bumps or better crosswalks—before making permanent changes. Your feedback on the...
Why This Matters: Live in Falconer Heights? This is your chance to flag that intersection where cars blow through stop signs, or the stretch where speeding makes walking feel dangerous. The city will actually use your input to decide where to put traffic calming measures in 2026.

Why This Matters: Live near Ellerslie Road and 115 Street? This could change what gets built next door. The proposal means more housing density in your neighbourhood. Traffic, parking, and the look of the area could all shift.

New Brunswick wants to know if employers should be required to share salary information openly. The province is exploring a Pay Transparency Framework to address wage gaps and make workplaces fairer. They're asking workers, employers, unions, and...
Why This Matters: Ever wonder if your coworker makes more than you for the same job? Pay transparency rules could require employers to post salary ranges in job ads and report on pay gaps.

The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing Enbridge Gas's plan for energy conservation programs from 2026 to 2030. These "demand side management" programs help homeowners and businesses reduce natural gas use through rebates, audits, and efficiency...
Why This Matters: Heat your home with natural gas? This affects what rebates you can get for furnace upgrades, insulation, or smart thermostats. The programs could help lower your energy bills—but the costs get spread across all gas customers. Small businesses and landlords may also see new incentives to cut energy...

In 2018, Alberta proposed creating a new Wildland Provincial Park in the Bighorn Country region west of Edmonton. The plan would have expanded parks, recreation areas, and public land use zones from Banff's border to Drayton Valley. The goal...
Why This Matters: Love hiking, camping, or ATVing in Alberta's backcountry? This proposal would have changed how you access and use public lands near Banff. Ranchers, outfitters, and local businesses had a stake too. The region's headwaters feed the North Saskatchewan River, which supplies drinking water to Edmonton...

Alberta wants farmers to drive agricultural research priorities, not just participate in them. The province gathered input on what 'farmer-led research' should mean, what the priorities should be, and how industry can share leadership. This could...
Why This Matters: If you're a farmer, this is about who decides what gets researched—and whether your priorities matter. Even if you're not farming, agricultural research affects food prices and rural jobs. Alberta wants to become a biotech hub, which could mean more investment in your region.

Alberta asked whether road user fees (tolls) should fund a $200 million bridge over the Peace River near La Crete. Right now, residents rely on a seasonal ferry and winter ice road that's closed 30% of the year. Wait times can hit 3 hours during...
Why This Matters: Live in northwestern Alberta? This bridge could end 3-hour ferry waits and year-round crossing closures. Farmers, truckers, and businesses in the region would get reliable access. But it also sets a precedent—tolls could fund future Alberta highway projects.

Alberta reviewed how much money oil sands and coal mining companies must set aside to clean up their mines when they're done. The pandemic crashed oil prices in 2020, which messed up the formula for calculating these payments. The government...
Why This Matters: When mines close, someone has to pay to restore the land. If companies don't set aside enough money, taxpayers could get stuck with the bill. This program determines whether industry or Albertans bear that risk.
