White City is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities.
Today, nearly 6,000 people live in White City, the subdivision of Emerald Park or one of the adjacent residential or commercial developments in the Rural Municipality of Edenwold No. 158.
Our general residential and business area is a contiguous urban entity. We are friends and neighbours - divided only by two systems of governance.
We think it's time to unite as one urban municipal government.
One Community. One Voice.
A New Boundary to Bring Us Together
The White City and Emerald Park area is a growing and thriving community of nearly 6,000 [VC1] residents with many business developments.
Currently, these two communities are governed by different municipalities[VC2] , one urban (White City) and one rural (RM of Edenwold), which controls Emerald Park.
Our goal is to move forward and unite these communities into one.

What is the Plan?
Today’s boundaries were developed on an ad hoc basis without the needs of a growing community in mind.
The current boundaries are confusing, make planning difficult and restrict growth.

There is no rational reason for our communities to be separate. Our residents and businesses live, work and play together.
In order to move forward, we’re proposing the following boundary to unite our two communities.

White City is only seeking to incorporate 1% of the RMs total land, leaving 99% of the current area for rural development and growth.
