FAQs

What is an Annexation Application?

It is a boundary adjustment request to the Municipal Government Board (MGB) by a municipality. Adjusting the boundary means the requesting municipality incorporates land from an adjacent municipality or municipalities into its jurisdiction. Approval of the application by the MGB would result in land within the application area changing jurisdiction from Strathcona County (County) to the City of Fort Saskatchewan (City).

What is the Municipal Government Board (MGB)?

The MGB is a quasi-judicial board created by the Province to process and make recommendations to the Minister of Municipal Affairs regarding annexation applications. More information about the MGB.

How much land is in the annexation application?

The annexation request is to annex a portion of Range Road 223 that is west of Section 34, Township 54, Range 22, West of the 4th Meridian as shown on the Proposed Annexation Area Map. The length of road being requested is 1.6km (1 mile) by 20m (66ft) wide.

Why is the City annexing this portion of the range road?

The road is adjacent to the City’s light industrial business park area and will provide important access. The City and the County agreed to upgrade this portion of the road to the City’s engineering standards. Annexing the road into the City’s municipal boundary would provide the greatest certainty and clarity for adjacent property owners and both municipalities for the long term management and operations for this upgraded portion of the range road.

How do I participate in the process?

The MGB will provide notice of a Hearing to allow landowners & stakeholders to speak directly to the Board on any matters relating to the Annexation Application submitted by the City of Fort Saskatchewan.
