High Prairie Town Council

Created to represent the thoughts and view of the majority of council in order to help improve the level of communication and clarity to the area residents

Welcome to the High Prairie Town Council page.
Our motivation is to inform the residents in a timely manner of council updates and highlights out of council meetings, as well as to keep you informed of upcoming or ongoing issues. The intent is to inform with accuracy so the community can be provided with actual information in real time – as a recommendation from our recent strategic planning is to improve and enhance the level of communication between the municipality and the area residents.
