What is corporate identity?

A Corporate Identity is a set of standards to guide all County communications that may be viewed by internal and external audiences. The program is designed to ensure that all applications of the Lacombe County logo are presented consistently and professionally, assisting in making the overall brand recognizable to all audiences.

What does the logo represent?

Twin sweeps join together to form a horizon, the green and blue representative of the landscape and natural resources of Lacombe County. The curve itself further suggests a grand, overarching canvas of Alberta sky. The horizon also contains a promise of what lies beyond: the Lacombe County logotype set in solid grey is symbolic of that future. Industry, activity and growth are built on and exist in harmony with the landscape of the Lacombe County horizon.

Lacombe County believes that its success lies with the people and businesses that it serves. We see the value in engaging the public through a variety of mediums and are committed to open, accountable and responsive decision making, including different levels of engagement with the public as outlined in this policy. Lacombe County believes that meaningful public participation on different levels is crucial to communications between the municipality and the public, as well as the success of the County as a whole.

Policy AD (40) Public Participation Policy speaks to the level of public participation and engagement opportunities coming from Lacombe County around the issues of proposed applications, plans, bylaws, projects, studies, arising issues, and other initiatives that may have an impact on the public in the County. This policy establishes a consistent approach for public participation in Lacombe County’s municipal decision-making. The policy ensures that participation opportunities are clear, accessible, appropriate, and that feedback is considered in a transparent and accountable manner.

In 2019, the County ran a survey (online and in the County News) for property owners. This survey had several goals:

  • To find out how you want to engage with Lacombe County, and how you want to get involved with public engagement and public participation opportunities.
  • To find out where you want to access County content, including news releases, Council decisions, notices, project updates, funding opportunities, videos and pictures, available services, etc.
  • To find out how our current information is accessed, used and understood, so that we can build on the topics and channels of communication for our ratepayers.

You can see the findings in the Public Engagement and Communications Action Plan
