Essential information on Munis 101 orientation courses

Munis 101 is the Elected Officials Education Program’s (EOEP) foundational course.

MGA Requirements

Munis 101 is developed and delivered in partnership with Municipal Affairs to help meet Municipal Government Act (MGA) orientation requirements. As such, CAOs are encouraged to attend so that they can supplement the topics covered with municipal specific information.

Certificate

Munis 101 is also the foundational course for the Municipal Elected Leaders Certificate, awarded in partnership with the University of Alberta’s Augustana Extended Education program on councillors who complete all 7 EOEP courses.
