Alberta Municipalities | Strength in Members

Seniors built Alberta's communities. Alberta Municipalities has seven active resolutions that relate to seniors. Among them, we have resolutions on emergency shelters, home care support in lodges, protection for vulnerable tenants, and access to mental health supports ABmunis is committed to helping our seniors age in their chosen communities. That's why we are committed to advocating for increased FCSS funding. #ABseniors #SeniorsWeek

Bill 50, the Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 has been passed. Bill 50 contains several changes, including that all code of conduct bylaw provisions are no longer legally enforceable. While ABmunis continues to work with GoA on this topic, learn more about the changes here: abmunis.ca/news/how-does-rep… #ABmunis

Alberta Municipalities collaborated with the Rural Municipalities of Alberta and Alberta Association of Community Peace Officers (@_aacpo) to advocate for presumed PTSD coverage for Community Peace Officers (CPOs) in Alberta. CPOs face risks and psychological trauma in their roles. However, when seeking Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB) support, their PTSD is not presumed to be work-related because they’re not considered first responders in legislation. This hinders their access to support. Both, ABmunis and @RuralMA have ongoing resolutions on this topic. Learn more about it here: abmunis.ca/system/files/2025… #ABmunis

ABmunis congratulates Speaker @RicMcIver on his new role in the Legislature. And we wish to congratulate interim Minister for Municipal Affairs, Joseph Schow. We encourage Minister Schow to draw on ABmunis' expertise, knowledge & enthusiasm to help shape provincial legislation & regulations pertaining to Alberta’s municipalities & community-builders. Together, we can help build more resilient, thriving communities. #ABmunis

ABmunis member-municipalities adopted a resolution in 2023 to advocate for @YourAlberta to give Community Peace Officers (CPOs) suffering PTSD the same @WCBAlberta coverage as other police officers. Why? Because 50% of public safety officers have some form of mental health concern. CPOs deserve the same supports for the same issues. @RuralMA @_aacpo

Our President @CptGandam had a productive meeting with Minister @RicMcIver this week to discuss ABmunis Grant Advisory Services report and our recommendations to improve government grant processes to better serve our members. Check out the report here: abmunis.ca/system/files/2025… #ABmunis

ABmunis was pleased to welcome Premier @ABDanielleSmith to the second day of our Spring Municipal Leaders Caucus. Alberta’s municipal leaders, our members, are currently sharing with the Premier their views on how Alberta communities can endure these challenging times and position them to thrive in the future. #ABmunis

We were delighted to create the opportunity for 350 municipal leaders and ABmunis members to connect with Alberta's cabinet ministers so they could discuss the issues closest to their communities. Thank you @MikeEllisUCP, @mickeyamery, @DanWilliamsAB, @demetriosnAB, @NateHornerAB, @SearleTurton, @DevinDVote, and @DaleNally_AB for joining us today. #ABmunis
