Whitecourt Town Council Update - July 19, 2022
Posted on:Whitecourt Town Council has adopted the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) with Woodlands County. The Government of Alberta requires all municipalities that share borders to adopt an ICF to formalize the coordination of service delivery and optimize resources for citizens. In 2021, the municipalities agreed to proceed with voluntary arbitration to reach an agreement on the ICF, and earlier this year the arbitrator’s decision was released. Both municipalities are to adopt the agreement by August 4, 2022 to meet provincial legislative requirements.
