This new program opens opportunities for more participants to get involved in community.

Funding opportunities are also available for eligible groups to support special clean up events, including the Farmers’ Day’s Parade.

The first EV charger can be found on the West side of Town Hall: 4905 51 Ave. It is available to the public at all hours and is free to use, with no associated charging costs.

STONY PLAIN, AB: The Town of Stony Plain has launched its Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) Program. The BR+E Program is built with business and is designed to work collaboratively with local business owners to better understand their needs and support their ability to stay, adapt, grow and thrive.

The first phase of the program begins with a confidential business survey, now open to local business owners. The survey invites businesses to share insights into their operations, future plans, and experiences operating in Stony Plain. What businesses share will help identify shared priorities and guide how support is aligned over time.

Businesses can complete the survey online or participate in an in-person or phone conversation with a member of the Economic Development team. All input will be kept confidential and summarized to protect individual business information.

The BR+E Program follows an ongoing cycle of engagement, insight, and action.

Survey responses will be reviewed to identify common themes and opportunities. If a business identifies an urgent or time-sensitive matter, such as expansion plans, relocation, or an operational challenge, the Town will follow up directly to better understand the situation and connect the business with appropriate support where possible.

Later this year, participating businesses and support partners will be invited to review the findings and take part in a collaborative workshop to identify practical next steps.

Insights gathered through the survey and workshop will be summarized in the BR+E Survey Report and Action Plan, which will help guide coordinated action and future decision-making related to business support in Stony Plain.

Updates on actions and opportunities to participate will be shared throughout the program so businesses can see how their input is informing action.

Local business owners are encouraged to help shape what comes next for business support in Stony Plain.
