Sep 8, 2026 at 10:00 (the Village Office, #6, 3 Avenue West, Empress, Alberta). 2 parcels offered. None of them publishes a reserve bid yet.

A reserve bid is set by council under MGA s.419 and has to be published before the sale, but the Gazette notice that lists the parcel often does not carry it. The number lands later, in the municipality's own auction package. We add it the day it appears rather than estimating one.
