City of St. Albert Pilot Project

The City of St. Albert is implementing a one-year pilot project for backyard hens. The goal is to provide selected residents with the opportunity to participate and learn from this pilot. Selected households must be committed to the requirements of the pilot program. The City will be using the outcomes of the resident involvement, data, and other findings to determine the future of hens in St. Albert.Since this is a pilot project, hens are not permitted under the Animal Control Bylaw 11/2013. The future of hen keeping in St. Albert will be determined at the end of the pilot once a decision has been made by Council in summer/fall 2018.
