2022 ABmunis resolutions shared with provincial ministers

In late October and early November, Alberta Municipalities shared resolutions adopted at the 2022 Convention with relevant provincial cabinet ministers.

Their responses will be reviewed by our standing Policy Committees. The committees will then make their advocacy recommendations to ABmunis' Board of Directors.

Input from the Small Communities Committee will be sought on many of the resolutions to ensure the perspectives of small communities are considered. Updates on ministers' responses and Alberta Municipalities' activities related to each resolution will be made through ABmunis' Resolutions Library.
