Strathcona County named one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers
January 28, 2025

Strathcona County is excited to announce that it has been selected as one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers in an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. This prestigious designation recognizes Alberta employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces and the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
“This recognition as one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers is a proud moment for Strathcona County,” said Mayor Rod Frank. “It underscores our commitment to creating a workplace where innovation, collaboration and excellence thrive. Our employees are the backbone of our community, and their dedication and passion are what make Strathcona County a great place to live and work. We will continue to invest in our people and programs to ensure we remain a top employer and a leader in municipal governance.”
Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition: workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
The editors publish detailed “reasons for selection” for these criteria, providing transparency in the selection of winners and a catalogue of best practices for employers and job seekers alike. You may view Strathcona County’s detailed reasons for selection on the competition website.
The full list of Alberta's Top Employers (2025) was announced today in a special magazine published in the Calgary Herald and the Edmonton Journal and includes a feature article on Strathcona County.
“Being named one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers is a significant milestone for Strathcona County,” said Darrell Reid, Chief Administrative Officer. “It reflects our ongoing efforts to create an environment where employees feel valued, supported and inspired to contribute their best. This honour not only highlights our current successes but also sets a strong foundation for our future goals, including our vision of becoming Canada’s most livable community and a top employer.”
