More family-friendly policies
AUMA applauds the Town of Canmore for their Council Remuneration Policy that allows up to $2,000 to be reimbursed to councillors to cover both child and family care costs while they attend events in an official capacity.
Family-friendly policies like these help to lessen the financial burden for parents while making joining your council more appealing.
In a recent Digest article, AUMA also featured the Municipality of Jasper and their policy reimbursing councillors for child care expenses incurred while representing their municipality at functions.
