Regional Collaboration Committee

The City of Red Deer and Red Deer County have a long history of working together, and our relationship continues to grow. The Regional Collaboration Committee (RCC) was created to act as a catalyst for increasing partnership opportunities in the region, building off the work that started during the development of the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF), which began in 2019 and was subsequently adopted in 2021.
