Phone service disruption affecting some City departments

June 24, 2025 4:36 PM
(Red Deer, Alberta)

The City of Red Deer is currently experiencing an unexpected phone service disruption at the Civic Yards. As a result, incoming phone lines for the following departments are unavailable:

  • Transit (including Action Bus)
  • Parks and Public Works
  • Utilities (Environmental Services, Electric Light & Power)
    (Note: The Blue Line remains operational)

The main phone line at City Hall (403-342-8111) is still available between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.; however, some services, including Action Bus bookings, cannot currently be completed by phone.

The disruption is the result of a service provider issue, not a City system problem. The City’s is working with the provider to resolve it. Currently, there is no estimated timeline for restoration.

How to reach us in the meantime:
Please email the following contacts during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.):

For urgent after-hours service requests, please call 403-348-5700. Please note: this line cannot be used to book Action Bus trips.

We are working to resolve the issue and will provide updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
