Municipal Election Webinar - Small and Mid-size Municipalities

Event Summary

Are you ready to make a difference in your community? If you're considering running for local council in a small-to-mid-size Alberta municipality, this is the perfect opportunity for you! Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) and Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) are hosting a webinar to help you prepare for this year’s election.

In this engaging session, you'll learn about the roles and responsibilities of local office, how it compares to federal and provincial governments, and the incredible rewards that come with serving your community. You'll also get an inside look at how councils are structured, what’s expected of council members, and the unique impact you can have in a small to mid-size municipality. 

But that’s not all! We’ve lined up guest speakers from local councils who will share their personal experiences leading in small-to-mid-size municipalities. Plus, there will be a Q&A session where you can ask questions and gain valuable insights on what it’s like to be a local elected official. 

The content of this webinar is catered to persons who live in a village, town or city under 20,000; however, any Albertan is welcome to attend this webinar to learn about the experience of serving on council. If the timing of this webinar does not work with your schedule, please feel free to register for any of our upcoming municipal election webinars no matter the type of your municipality. 

To attend a webinar simply register here. We hope to see you there!
