Community cemetery assessment
At the direction of Council, Strathcona County conducted an assessment to determine the need for a municipal community cemetery. The current cemeteries in Strathcona County include private, rural and faith-based cemeteries.
The project’s four phases included:
- Assessment of cemetery needs (completed in 2020)
- Review of the current market, the potential services and form of a new community cemetery (completed in 2020)
- Analysis of financial feasibility and operational structure (completed in 2022)
- Evaluation of potential sites (pending Council direction)
On November 29, 2022, Council elected not to move forward with Phase 4 of the Cemetery assessment at this time, thus completing the project. Thank you to the many community groups, cemetery managers, and stakeholders who participated in Phases 1, 2 and 3 of this cemetery assessment.
