2016 Municipal Census Results
Online Account Information
According to the latest municipal census, Beaumont’s population is now 17,720. That’s an increase of 5.7 per cent over 2015, and it means an additional 952 people chose to make their homes in Beaumont.
Beaumont is developing an online account information system that will allow residents to view, and eventually pay, their Town accounts online.

The annual census helps determine the Town’s eligibility for government funding. Each person counted in the census attracts in excess of $257 in funding from other levels of government. This was the second year Beaumont used an online census tool, and 42 per cent of you responded using the electronic system. A successful census provides data for planning programs, services and facilities for you and your family. Thank you, residents, for making the 2016 municipal census a success.
Community Gifts Program Beaumont has created a brochure that outlines some of the options that residents may wish to consider, should they want to purchase a memorial gift or make a donation to the town. If you would like to purchase a bench, tree, picnic table or other gift to honour a loved one who has passed, or to celebrate a milestone, please contact us to discuss options at 780-929-8782.

The plan is to roll the system out in stages, with simple account lookup being the first step and online payments to follow. Or, you can sign up for our pre-authorized debit utility payment system. Get the form at www.beaumont.ab.ca/utilitypad and submit it to the Town Office. We will then debit your account automatically. It’s a great option for snowbirds. Look for more information in the coming months for the launch of Beaumont’s Online Payment System.
