Thinking of Running for Municipal Office?

Becoming a municipal elected official is a significant responsibility that impacts the future of communities through decisions on infrastructure, budgeting, economic development, and public services. These officials represent their constituents, addressing concerns and improving residents' quality of life. This resource, developed by the Rural Municipalities of Alberta, Alberta Municipalities, and Alberta Municipal Affairs, provides essential insights and guidance for potential candidates. It covers the role of elected officials, the process of running for office, and accessing relevant information.

Over the coming months, RMA and ABmunis will offer a series of webinars providing prospective council candidates and Albertans at-large with a rich and authentic introduction to municipal service, covering everything from day-to-day responsibilities to the lasting community impact of council roles. The webinars catered to rural municipalities are detailed below; however, you may attend any webinar that fits your schedule.
