Running a business takes guts and hard work, and probably more coffee than anyone should drink.

You’ve invested in Creston, created jobs, served customers, and helped make our community the place it is today. And honestly? We’re pretty glad you’re here. Thanks for being part of what makes Creston great!

Now it’s time to have your say...

Municipal decisions can affect business licensing, downtown improvements, parking, and the overall vitality of our community. They can also shape the look and feel of our town through things like public art, beautification projects, and vibrant public spaces that attract visitors, encourage people to explore downtown, and support local businesses.

Whether you own a storefront, run a home-based business, or operate a service company, the decisions made at Town Hall matter.

📅 GENERAL VOTING DAY: THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
⏰ 8 AM–8 PM
📍 Upper Rotacrest Hall, 230 – 19th Avenue North

In the last municipal election, only 36% of eligible voters cast a ballot. So far this election, just 17% voted during the two advance polls. Let’s get those numbers up, Creston!

A strong local economy starts with a strong community. Make your vote count!

LOTS OF OPINIONS. NOT SO MANY VOTES. 🗳️

In the last municipal election, only 36% of eligible voters in Creston actually voted. 😳

That means 64% sat it out.

Let that sink in. That’s a whole lot of people who didn’t help choose the people making decisions about their community.

Commenting on Facebook is easy. Writing “Someone should do something about this!” is easy.

But guess what? Voting is easy, too! It only takes about five minutes.

If you want a say in who makes decisions about your community, voting is one of the best ways to make your voice count.

🗳️ GENERAL VOTING DAY IS THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
⏰ 8 AM–8 PM
📍 Upper Rotacrest Hall, 230 – 19th Avenue North

You don’t have to stop having opinions, Creston. We’re just asking you to bring them to the ballot box, too. 😉

LET’S TURN ALL THOSE OPINIONS INTO VOTES AND GET THAT 36% WAY UP! 🙌

🐾 YOUR DOG CAN’T VOTE. BUT YOU CAN!

Your dog has strong opinions about everything.

The neighbour’s cat? Suspicious.
That squirrel? A personal enemy.
The fact that you stopped throwing the ball after 47 throws? Unacceptable.

But when it comes to voting in Creston’s municipal election, your four-legged bestie has to sit this one out. Sorry, Buddy.

YOU, however, get a say in the future of the community you both call home!

Municipal decisions help shape the places you walk, the parks you enjoy, the sidewalks you use, and the public spaces where you and your furry sidekick spend your time.

So, while your dog is busy sniffing every single blade of grass on the block, take a minute to walk to the polls.

🗳️ VOTE FOR YOUR KIDS.

Your kids probably don't care about municipal politics yet. They care about having things to do, places to have fun, parks to play in, feeling safe, and having a future in the community they call home.

But decisions made by Mayor and Council today help shape the Creston they’ll grow up in tomorrow.

🏡 Housing.
🌳 Parks, playgrounds and recreation.
🚲 Trails, sidewalks and safe streets.
🏘️ What kind of community Creston becomes.

These things matter. And your vote helps choose the people making those decisions.

You might not be able to get your kids to clean their rooms or eat their vegetables… But you can help shape the community they grow up in.

Vote for the community you want your kids to grow up in:

💙🩷🤍 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

The Town of Creston Mayor and Council have proclaimed October 15 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Each year on October 15, people around the world come together to remember and honour babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS and infant death — and to recognize the families who carry those losses with them.

To mark the day, the Town Hall Lawn lights will shine and flash in blue, pink and white on the evening of October 15, 2026.

We invite our community to take a moment to remember the babies who were loved, the families who continue to grieve, and the importance of supporting one another through loss.

CRESTON, WE KNOW YOU HAVE OPINIONS! 😂

Scroll through social media for five minutes during election time and you’ll find plenty of opinions about roads, parks, potholes, housing, taxes… and pretty much everything else happening in Creston!

And that’s a good thing! It means people care about their community.

But here’s your friendly reminder that there’s another way to have your say… VOTING! 🗳️

Last week, 364 people voted in the advance polls. Out of 4,775 eligible voters in Creston, that’s just the beginning of what we hope will be a great turnout!

There's been plenty of discussion about the Cedar Street childcare and housing project lately, and not all of the information circulating is accurate. We believe residents deserve clear, factual information about a project that will bring much-needed childcare spaces and housing to our community.

Read the full media release to learn about the work underway, why infrastructure relocations are required, and how the project is being funded.
