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.
Resolutions to be Debated at ABmunis 2026 Convention
As of the May 31 deadline, ABmunis members submitted 19 resolutions, which are available for viewing in ABmunis’ 2026 Resolutions Book in PDF and Word.
ABmunis’ Regular Members will vote on each resolution at the 2026 Convention and Trade Show in Edmonton on September 23-25, 2026. Member councils are encouraged to review resolutions in advance of Convention so that you are prepared to participate in the debate and voting process.
Emergent Resolutions
If your municipality wants to submit an emergent resolution, our Resolutions Policy requires that it:
- Be related to an issue of concern to municipalities that has arisen after or just prior to the May 31 resolution deadline, such that members could not submit it as a resolution in time.
- Have a critical aspect that needs to be addressed before the next Convention.
ABmunis has received one emergent resolution following the May 31 deadline, which is available for viewing in the ABmunis’ 2026 Resolutions Book.
ABmunis is strict about these criteria, as members indicate they value time to review and consider each resolution. Members wishing to move an emergent resolution must meet all requirements of the Resolutions Policy and provide notice to ABmunis administration as soon as possible, with a deadline of noon the day before Convention opens.
Contact us at resolutions [at] abmunis.ca (resolutions[at]abmunis[dot]ca) for more information.
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.
