Community Engagement Committee
The community engagement committee is an ad-hoc committee (1-yr term) of council. The committee’s mandate is to research best practices and develop policy options that will create opportunities for residents to become more engaged with the town. Specifically, the group will:
-Evaluate government decision making and recommend appropriate levels of community involvement
-Enhance transparency
-Grow engagement in local government
Council is currently considering Bylaw 1103-21, Community Engagement Committee Bylaw, which will transition the committee from an ad hoc committee to a standing committee of council. Please review the bylaw and provide feedback if you have any. The bylaw is set for 3rd Reading (approval) at the May 18th Council meeting.

The committee meets the 4th Monday of each month at 6:00pm in Council Chambers.

Raymond Wellness Coalition
Barons Eureka Warner FCSS secured a grant for this initiative and Town Council approved Councillor Harker and Town administration to assist the group. The Alberta Healthy Communities Initiative nurtures the strengths of a community to enhance the quality of life of residents by creating healthier environments through innovation and collaboration. The group has completed a Community Profile and an Asset Map. These tools can be used to understand the resources (groups, facilities, demographics) that exist in our community.
The community meets monthly to discuss health and wellness related issues in Raymond. Feel free to contact administration if you would like to attend or if you have ideas about how to make Raymond a healthier community.
Meeting Schedule
The committee generally meets the 1st Wednesday of the month at 11:00 am in Raymond Council Chambers, or via Zoom link. The public is always welcome.
