Council Approves Partial Road Allowance Request
Greenview received a road closure request from Northland Logistics Corp. (Northland) on February 28, 2020, to close the portion of Road Plan 0421800 located south and adjacent to the Northland lot SE-09-72-01-W6.

The Government of Alberta made a number of changes to the Local Authorities Election Act in 2019 and 2020 in the lead up to the 2021 General Election.

Council Supports Grande Spirit Foundation Fundraising Efforts
This year seniors are feeling particularly isolated due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Grande Cache Community Events Foundation Sponsorship Approved
The Grande Cache Community Events Foundation is looking to create an outdoor Christmas experience in the Bird’s Eye Park beside the Grande Cache Tourism & Interpretive Centre.
