The Parkland Regional Library (PRL), through an agreement, provides library services within the Town. A proposed 2022 budget developed by PRL, in compliance with the Libraries Act and the Parkland Regional Library’s Budget Policy, was presented to Council with a slight increase due to a change in the method used by the province for calculating population data. Council carried a motion to approve the budget as presented.
