Resolutions
ABmunis uses a resolution process that enables our member municipalities to provide direction on what issues ABmunis should advocate for in search of solutions in partnership with the Government of Alberta, the Government of Canada, or other organizations.
Call for 2026 Resolutions
The deadline for submitting a resolution for consideration at ABmunis’ 2026 Convention is May 31, 2026. Before you create a resolution, please review our Guide on 2026 Resolutions linked in the resources section below. The Guide covers topics such as:
- Questions to consider before creating a resolution
- How our advocacy will differ between low and high priority resolutions
- Tips for writing a resolution
- Timelines and what happens after a resolution is adopted
To save you time and effort, we strongly encourage members to email resolutions [at] abmunis.ca (resolutions[at]abmunis[dot]ca) when you are considering a resolution topic, when you have a draft version available for review, and whenever you have a question about resolutions.
The status of past resolutions can be found in the report cards below or in our searchable resolutions library or subscribe to The Weekly for regular updates.
Issue can’t wait until September? Sponsor an RFD at Spring MLC
If your municipality has identified a pressing issue that cannot wait to be debated via resolution at Alberta Municipalities’ September 2026 Convention, then members may submit a Request for Decision for consideration at our Spring Municipal Leaders’ Caucus on March 25-27, 2026. Learn about the difference between resolutions and Requests for Decisions and other options for members to request action by Alberta Municipalities.
Request for Decisions should only be used when there is an urgent or emerging issue, meaning the topic is developing unexpectedly and requires immediate action.
Request for Decisions must be submitted, along with proof of council endorsement, to advocacy [at] abmunis.ca (advocacy[at]abmunis[dot]ca) by February 19, 2026.
