Annexation is the change in jurisdiction from one municipality to another but it  does not change ownership rights. It also does not always lead to immediate development. The annexation process begins when one municipality proposes annexation to another municipality. The respective Provincial Authority will direct the process and make a recommendation on the annexation to the approving Minister for the Province in which the application is made.

The aim of annexation is to:

  • Create a balanced economy;
  • Attract new investments and residents;
  • Maintain and expand services; and
  • Ensure a sustainable region.

 Annexation update

The City of Lloydminster and County of Vermilion River are discussing the future growth of the Lloydminster region.

View the public engagement website for more information. 


 

Need for annexation

Lloydminster is a growing, young and vibrant community. As the City grows, commercial and industrial properties will face increasing demands to ensure land is available to support the growing economy. Industrial and commercial development provides a strong, viable tax base to fund City infrastructure, facilities and services.

Comprehensive Growth Strategy Update 

The goal of the City of Lloydminster's annexation proposal is to obtain the land needed to meet its 50-year growth needs. The process involves determining the service and financial commitments needed to develop the lands requested in an annexation application. The new Comprehensive Growth Strategy Update will replace the 2013 Comprehensive Growth Strategy. The Growth Strategy Update helps to create a foundation to pursue annexation and to engage in annexation negotiations.

Working together to plan for growth

The City of Lloydminster, County of Vermilion River, Rural Municipality of Wilton and Rural Municipality of Britannia all participate in intermunicipal planning to improve regional collaboration and partnerships. These plans provide policy on ongoing collaboration for planning-related matters in the region.

  • The City of Lloydminster and County of Vermilion River adopted the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) in 2008.
  • The City and Rural Municipalities of Wilton and Britannia adopted the Official Community Plan (OCP), which the Minister approved in 2014.
  • The Intermunicipal Liaison Committee (ILC) manages the Intermunicipal Development plan (IDP) for the City and the County of Vermilion River.
  • The Lloydminster Planning District Commission (LPDC) manages the Official Community Plan (OCP) for the City, Rural Municipality of Wilton and Rural Municipality of Brittania. 

Annexation Application 

In late 2020, the City of Lloydminster submitted an official application for annexation to the MGB. Visit yourvoicelloyd.ca/Annexation to view the application.
