Rural Still Matters! Moving Local Government Forward Print E-mail

The AAMDC did and continues to do our part to forward the ideas and priorities outlined for moving local government forward in Alberta.  There’s been a lot of discuss ion about municipalities and how they interact with other levels of government. With change on the provincial political horizon, the time is right. It is encouraging that the dialogue is getting more attention; and, it is an excellent opportunity to remind decision makers that Rural Still Matters!


Rural municipalities are more than just land banks—we are a vital part of this province’s economy, culture and future.  Long-term funding is a critical component of success and must acknowledge the unique needs of rural municipalities.
