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.

 

Vote Results on the 2026 Resolutions  

On September 24, 2026, hundreds of ABmunis’ member elected officials gathered in Edmonton to debate and vote on 21 resolutions that were submitted by members. 19 resolutions were adopted with two amendments. The results of voting on the 2026 resolutions are listed below under the Resolutions Book section or by visiting our Resolutions Library.     

For each adopted resolution, ABmunis sends a letter to the relevant ministry. Responses to the resolutions will be referred to the relevant Alberta Municipalities Standing Committee, which will make a recommendation on any further action to Alberta Municipalities Board of Directors.

      

2027 Resolutions Process  

In January 2027, ABmunis will issue a call for resolutions to be considered at the 2027 annual Convention taking place in Edmonton, September 22-24, 2027. That announcement will include any changes in the process. 

For more information on resolutions, contact us at resolutions [at] abmunis.ca (resolutions[at]abmunis[dot]ca) and 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 2027 Convention, members may submit a Request for Decision for consideration at our Spring Municipal Leaders’ Caucus on April 7-8, 2027. Learn about the difference between resolutions and Requests for Decisions and other options for members to request action by Alberta Municipalities.   

The status of our advocacy on past resolutions can be found in the report cards below or in our searchable Resolutions Library or subscribe to The Weekly for regular updates.
