Your Current Council
Our Town Council is made up of seven elected officials, including the Mayor and six Councillors. These elected officials provide the guidance and leadership that makes Fort Macleod a vibrant, growing community full of opportunity.
Council is the governing body of the municipal corporation and, in accordance with the Municipal Government Act (MGA), is assigned powers, duties and functions. Council can exercise their powers either by bylaw or resolution passed at a regular or special meeting when a quorum is present.
The Town Council is a continuing body, notwithstanding changes of members, through the election process every four years.
Council is responsible for establishing policy directions, monitoring and evaluating the implementation of programs, and authorizing the revenue collection and expenditures required to fund the Town's operations.

Mayor Brent Feyter
I was raised in Fort Macleod and was involved in various local youth sports and activities. Since graduating in 1997, I have worked at a few local businesses, primarily with our family business, Structural Truss Systems and Forma Steel, leading and helping grow the family companies. My wife, Janey, is a stay-at-home mom and a great champion for me and our six children, Micah, Sherayah, Levi, Emalee, Maelle and Ezra.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being challenged by those who have attained goals and challenges seemingly impossible and spending time with our family.
In living, learning and being challenged by others, I have grown to appreciate the community's significant role in the development of the family and the success of a business. To me, a community is a place where people are excited about living and working, where we trust each other, celebrate the successes of our fellow citizens and pull together when things get tough.
