Resolutions
ABmunis uses a resolution process that enables our member municipalities to provide direction on what issues ABmunis should advocate for in search of solutions in partnership with the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada, or other organizations.
2024 Resolutions to be debated at Convention
As of the May deadline, ABmunis members submitted 27 resolutions, which are now available for viewing in ABmunis’ 2024 Resolutions Book in PDF or Word format.
ABmunis’ Regular Members will vote on each resolution at the 2024 Convention and Trade Show in Red Deer on September 25-27, 2024. Councils are encouraged to review resolutions in advance of Convention so that you are prepared to participate in the debate and voting process.
Emergent Resolutions
If your municipality wants to submit an emergent resolution, our Resolutions Policy requires that it:
- Be related to an issue of concern to municipalities that has arisen after or just prior to the May 31 resolution deadline such that members could not submit it as a resolution in time.
- Have a critical aspect that needs to be addressed before the next Convention.
Members wishing to move an emergent resolution must meet all requirements of the Resolutions Policy and provide notice to ABmunis Administration as soon as possible with a deadline of noon the day before Convention opens.
Contact us at resolutions [at] abmunis.ca (resolutions[at]abmunis[dot]ca) for more information.
Check out the Resolutions Library for the status of previously adopted resolutions.
