A message from the Government of Alberta
Calgary and Edmonton are currently governed by the Municipal Government Act, a one-size-fits-all approach to governing Alberta’s municipalities. As a result, Calgary and Edmonton follow the same rules as small summer villages.
Calgary and Edmonton have grown significantly and face a unique scale of population pressures and demand for services. The three governments are therefore working on charter policies in 5 key areas:
- Administrative efficiency
- Supporting community and well-being
- Smarter community planning
- Empowering local environmental stewardship
- Collaboration
You can provide your thoughts on the charter regulations by completing this survey, which will be available until October 10, 2017. Your feedback will be used to inform potential changes to the draft regulation before it’s finalized in fall 2017.
