We are community builders.
About us
From the smallest village to the largest city, across every region of the province, Alberta Municipalities represents the communities where over 85% of Albertans live. Previously known as the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA), Alberta Municipalities was founded in 1905 to provide urban and rural-region communities with a united voice. We work with elected and administrative leaders of Alberta's summer villages, villages, town, cities, and specialized municipalities to advocate for solutions to their common issues, which we categorize as economic, environment, governance, infrastructure, or social. And we help them build resilient and thriving communities by providing valuable services. We use our members' combined purchasing power to negotiate the best possible value and competitive pricing on employee benefits, insurance, energy, and other services needed to run an effective and efficient municipality. Alberta Municipalities has been successfully delivering innovative aggregated solutions to municipalities, municipally related not-for-profit organizations, and their employees. We provide substantial value to members through economies of scale, outstanding service and support, expertise that comes from working with municipalities and contribute to the advocacy efforts of the organization. We offer services including Employee Benefits, Retirement Services, Insurance and Risk Services, Investment Services, and Energy Services. Alberta Municipalities prides itself on being an accessible and inclusive organization. Our recruiting practices make every effort to ensure a fair and equitable selection process for each position.

'When I joined the Small Communities Committee in 2012, I was blown away by the work being done on behalf of our small towns and villages. The topics and projects that were tackled were of great benefit and gave me an education on how to do my job better so I could do more to help my community.' - Trina Jones, Director of Towns East.
