Positive Ticketing Program returns to Lloydminster

Lloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster’s Positive Ticketing Program has officially launched for the 2026 season, returning for its second year to recognize residents who make safe, responsible, and community-minded choices.

The program highlights everyday actions that contribute to a safer and more connected community, such as helping a neighbour, wearing appropriate safety gear, or using crosswalks properly.

Through the program, Peace Officers, Bylaw Officers, RCMP, and Lloydminster Fire Rescue personnel will be on the lookout for residents demonstrating positive behaviours. Individuals who are recognized will receive a positive ticket, which can be redeemed for a small reward, made possible through support from participating businesses, including several new partners this year.

“The Positive Ticketing Program creates meaningful moments between residents and Lloydminster’s first responders,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. “These interactions help build familiarity and trust, while recognizing the small actions that contribute to a strong and respectful community. It is a simple approach that leaves a lasting impression and encourages continued positive engagement.”

“The Positive Ticketing Program gives us a chance to recognize the positive choices happening across Lloydminster,” said Tayte Goddard, Manager of Municipal Enforcement. “It helps create positive, approachable interactions with residents, especially youth, and strengthens relationships with our enforcement and emergency services.”

Residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for local first responders, as they may be recognized with a ticket for doing the right thing. To learn more about the Positive Ticketing Program, visit Lloydminster.ca/PositiveTicket.
