Updated Naming Policy Includes Significant Names Registry Featuring Stony Plain Icons

The Town’s Naming Policy has been updated at the recommendation of Administration. Developed in 2020, the Naming Policy establishes a coordinated and consistent naming process for Stony Plain. The latest update addresses naming requests not explicitly addressed by the previous version of the policy, such as commemorative name requests.

In line with the updated policy, Administration has established a preliminary Significant Names Registry to guide future naming requests. The list features prominent names used within the community and throughout Stony Plain’s history.

The updated Naming Policy will be available on the Stony Plain website.

Find more information and view the Significant Names Registry in the Regular Council Meeting agenda package on pages 83 – 99 and 101 – 111.
