Greenview Council Approves Updates to Schedule of Fees
Council gave a third and final reading to Bylaw 24-980 – Schedule of Fees, which saw updates made to descriptions and rates in a few departments.

Fox Creek Greenview Multiplex Facility Memorandum of Agreement Renewal Approved
As co-owner of the Fox Creek Greenview Multiplex, the Municipal District of Greenview’s agreement with the Town of Fox Creek outlining facility funding and operational partnership had expired. Greenview Council approved a new Memorandum of Agreement for a three-year period effective January 1, 2025, through to December 31, 2027.

Greenview Council Enters Intermediary Partnership with the Valleyview & District Agricultural Society
The Valleyview & District Agricultural Society (Ag. Society) is currently constructing a new Agri-Plex in Valleyview. Since it is a non-profit organization without a charitable status, the Ag. Society Board is looking to set up a fund for the capital project through the Northwestern Alberta Foundation (NAF) to allow donors to receive charitable receipts. Greenview Council supports the Ag. Society’s fundraising campaign by entering into an Intermediary Partnership that will allow residents and businesses to receive charitable receipts for supporting the community project.

Grants Approved In lieu of Taxes by Greenview Council
Greenview Council approved one-time grants for the Town of Valleyview and the Town of Fox Creek to be used for existing capital infrastructure funding, with funds to be accessed upon approval by Greenview Council.
