Canada Day and Citizenship Ceremony

For the fourth year in a row Stony Plain was honoured with the opportunity to host a Citizenship Ceremony in partnership with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Over 60 New Canadians gathered amongst dignitaries and more than 200 spectators to become citizens. At the end of the ceremony a birthday cake was cut in honour of Canada’s birthday and everyone was treated to delicious cupcakes, both of which were prepared by local business Sugarleaf cupcakes.

As part of the Canada Day celebrations entertainment by Codie Prevost and Hailey Benedict could be heard on Blueberry Stage and the Stony Plain Art Walk once again filled the park with beautiful art by regional artists.

address economic development barriers and as a community we can expand our non-residential tax base and create jobs.

• Define a vision of economic development that is authentic to Stony Plain. • Highlight creative approaches and best practices that could utilized to achieve goals. • Outline an action plan to implement objectives and goals, as well as performance measures with

outcomes and timelines to evaluate whether, and to what extent, plan goals and objectives have been or are being met.
