Thinking About Running for Town Council?

Posting date: April 17, 2025

If you or someone you know is considering serving on your local council, this webinar is for you! Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) and the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) are hosting free webinars to help prospective candidates understand what it’s like to serve on a municipal council. 

During this interactive webinar, you’ll learn about: 


• What decisions councils are responsible for 
• How municipal government differs from federal and provincial governments 
• The impact and rewards of serving your community 
• Firsthand experiences from current municipal leaders 

There will also be a Q&A session where you can ask questions and gain valuable insights into the experience of being a municipal elected official. Each webinar is catered to different municipal structures, but you are welcome to attend any session that fits your schedule. Invite your family or friends to learn with you!
