YCE Multiplex Tender Awards

Council approved two awards for construction components of the YCE Multiplex. The tender for steel stud, drywall, and taping was awarded to QSI Interiors for $1,681,262. The various flooring scopes were awarded to several vendors (XMG, CFI Custom Floors, Stonhard) based on their submitted pricing, totalling $1,933,377.10, with an allowance of $406,500 for the poly flooring that was not awarded, as further review was recommended, as it did not align with the project specification. There are no changes to the $86.77 million project budget.

Council passed Bylaw 03.25 to redistrict a Part of SW-31-53-16-W5M, located northeast of Edson, from Rural District to Country Residential District. The redistricting is intended to facilitate a future subdivision application to create two lots within the parcel. A Public Hearing was held on September 9, 2025.

Replacement of Peace Officer Patrol Vehicle

Council approved the early replacement of a Community Peace Officer (CPO) vehicle in the amount of $95,000 (funded from the Equipment Replacement Protective Services Reserve). The current patrol vehicle, scheduled to be replaced in 2026, has mechanical and electrical issues and has rendered the vehicle out-of-service. This approval by council will allow for the continuation of a full fleet of Peace Officer vehicles for coverage and patrols.

Canlin Energy Property Tax Agreement

Council received a request for an amendment to a 2025 property tax payment schedule for Canlin Energy Corporation. Canlin proposed a revised payment plan agreement that would move their upcoming payments to later in 2025. In the request, Canlin referenced a cyclical downturn in the natural gas market that has impacted the company’s revenue generation. Council approved the requested amendment to the property tax agreement.
