Municipal Naming
In September 2025, Council approved an updated Naming of Development Areas Parks Facilities Roads and Trails Policy (#6100-004). The purpose of this policy is to establish a coordinated and consistent approach to the naming and renaming of development areas, roads, parks, public facilities and stormwater management facilities.
Westlock County strives to recognize history, culture, heritage, natural features, and persons through naming. In addition to the policy, Planning and Development Services introduced a new Municipal Naming Procedure document which will further facilitate responsible naming practices within the County.
Names Reserve List
The Names Reserve List is a list of names approved by Council to be used for the potential future naming of development areas, roads, parks, public facilities and stormwater management facilities, which includes commemorative names.
Residents have the opportunity to add names to the Names Reserve List. Please review the full naming criteria outlined in the Municipal Naming Policy, and please review the Names Reserve List to see if your proposed name is already on the list.
