"It is important we hear from the public on which programs and services you would like us to invest in. We ask all residents and businesses to take a moment to share your views with us through the options available in our new public engagement platform, 'Your View'." 

Residents and businesses can voice their options at engage.rockyview.ca, this is where they can take a brief survey, join an open discussion forum, or use an interactive tool to show the County how they would balance tax revenue.

All feedback gathered helps the County understand residents’ priorities and satisfaction levels with existing services. Comments and information gathered through budget engagement will be shared with Council, Administration, and the public to provide insight into public priorities.
