Mayor’s Message

Born and raised in Raymond, Alberta, I am am proud to call Raymond home. We have a lot to be grateful for living among neighbors who value community, safety, and family-centered values.

The Town of Raymond has always strived to be at the front lines of innovation and improvement. As a result of this mindset, we are the first municipality in Canada to be electrically net-zero for our municipal operations due to our Municipal Solar Initiative, offer symmetrical gig fibre internet to each home in Raymond allowing our residents to work anywhere in the world while calling Raymond home, and facilities that can not be matched by any other municipality our size.

My hope as Mayor is that we can take the progress we have made and continue to improve in all aspects. Together we can make The Town Raymond a haven that attracts others looking for a real sense of community that is hard to find today.

As a Council, we strive for transparency and cooperation. We depend on the residents of The Town of Raymond for feedback to know what is important to you and how we can make Raymond an even better place to call home!

Council Committees & Boards

As per Section 145 of the Municipal Government Act, Raymond Town Council may pass bylaws to establish what are called “council committees and other bodies.” The purpose of these committees and other bodies (boards/societies/advisory groups) is to examine issues that may come before Council in greater depth and detail.

Standing and Ad Hoc Committees

 The Town of Raymond has a committee structure that includes:

    • standing committees (permanent bodies with jurisdiction over specific ongoing policy areas such as finance); and
    • ad hoc committees (temporary committees established to investigate and advise Council on short-terms issues and problems).

Below is a list of the Town’s current standing and ad hoc committees. Please click on each to view their terms of reference.

Standing Committees

Ad Hoc Committees

Legislative and External Boards/Committees

In addition to conducting its business through a committee structure, Raymond Town Council also conducts its business by appointing members of Council to sit on what are called “legislative boards and committees” and “external boards and committees”. Legislative boards and committees derive their authority from provincial legislation (as opposed to bylaws); external boards and committees are, generally speaking, community focused, grassroots boards and committees that have been formed by Town residents/members of the general public to address various issues of concern and advance the public interest.

Below is a list of current legislative and external boards and committees to which a member of Council has been appointed. Please click on each to view their terms of reference or websites.
