Rocky View County Seeks Public Input on Aggregate Resource Management 

Rocky View County is entering the second phase of public engagement on proposed actions to improve how aggregate resources—such as gravel, crushed stone, and sand—are managed. These materials are essential for roads, buildings, and infrastructure, and their development must be carefully regulated. 

Residents are encouraged to provide feedback through an online survey at engage.rockyview.ca. The survey will be open for four weeks. Additionally, four community consultation events will allow residents to speak with County Administration about responsible resource management: 

Community Conversation Events 

  • February 24 – Beiseker Community Centre, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 

  • February 26 – County Hall, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 

  • February 27 – Bearspaw Lion’s Club, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 

  • March 6 – Weedon Community Hall, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 

Proposed Improvements to Aggregate Management 

Rocky View County and the Province of Alberta share responsibility for regulating the aggregate industry. The County is considering several updates, including: 

✅ Performance Standards for aggregate operations 

✅ New public engagement requirements for future aggregate sites 

✅ An Aggregate Site Monitoring Bylaw to oversee operations 

✅ Updated Application Requirements for new developments 

✅ A digital portal providing real-time updates on all active sites 

Residents can review the Stakeholder Advisory Committee’s report, feedback from phase one, and the full proposed plan at engage.rockyview.ca. County Administration will present final recommendations to Council in Spring 2025. 

By improving these guidelines, Rocky View County aims to ensure aggregate operations are managed effectively while balancing economic needs and environmental responsibility.
