Uniquely Stony Plain Blog
Welcome to the Uniquely Stony Plain Blog!
This blog will be continuously updated throughout the course of the Uniquely Stony Plain MDP update project. It will tell the story of where we have been, where we are going, and all the things we learned along the way. We're looking forward to going on this journey with members of the Stony Plain community!

The Beginning of a Community Vision
July 7, 2026
Summer is in full swing; the Uniquely Stony Plain team has continued to pop up in neighbourhoods throughout the community serving free food, games, and plenty of opportunity to share ideas about the future of Stony Plain.
On June 25, we hosted our largest turnout yet at Westerra Park and Playground! We served nearly 200 meals and collected more than 300 responses to our engagement questions in a single evening. Community members really came together to connect with each other, enjoy the sunshine and share what makes the town unique.
The momentum didn’t stop there, at the Forest Green School community party we continued the conversation, gathered thoughtful feedback and enjoyed a warm summer evening.
Now that we are about halfway through summer engagement, a picture of the community vision is starting to emerge. Community members love the character and small-town atmosphere, pathways and connections, local businesses, downtown, recreation opportunities, their fellow community members, and so much more! As a team we are excited to dive further into these ideas and explore how they can form our future community plan.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to participate yet, there is still lots of summer engagement left! Keep an eye on your mailbox for the arrival of the Uniquely Stony Plain postcard. The postcard offers an easy way to share your thoughts whenever it is convenient for you.
You can also join us at one of our upcoming community parties:
· July 9 | 5 to 7 PM | École La Trinité Playground
· July 14 | 5 to 7 PM | Meridian Meadows
· July 23 | 5 to 7 PM | Graybriar Playground
At our parties you can expect free food, games, and great conversations.
Can’t wait to see you there!

Uniquely Stony Plain Summer Engagements Start Off Strong!
June 24, 2026
The Uniquely Stony Plain Team has been popping up around the community as we kick off collecting feedback on what people love about Stony Plain and what their hopes and dreams are for the future of Stony Plain.
We popped up and enjoyed pancakes with residents at the Farmers’ Day Mayor and Council Pancake Breakfast, took on some rainy weather at the Brookview Playground and Park Space community party, and joined in on the festivities downtown at Midsummer Thursdays! So far, we’ve had a great start receiving a total of 319 responses from recent engagement opportunities. The initial feedback shows Stony Plain residents love the small-town vibes and community connectivity and hope it stays this way in the future. We hope to share more of the results next time we write.
Thank you to everyone who has come out to share your thoughts us so far. Join us at our upcoming community parties this week on June 25 at the Westerra Park and Playground from 5 to 7 PM and next week on June 30 at Forest Green School from 5 to 7 PM where we will be hosting our next community parties.

Project Kickoff
June 6, 2026
The Uniquely Stony Plain project team is excited to be officially kicking off our first stage of community engagement by popping up at the Mayor and Council's Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, June 6!
This pop up style engagement will serve as the soft-launch for all of our summer 2026 events, and gives us a chance to spread the word about our plans for the summer. This will include the release of our community party schedule, which will be the best way for residents to come out and get involved in the Uniquely Stony Plain MDP update project.
We're looking forward to a sunny morning filled with fresh pancakes and great conversation!
