Changes to RMA’s Resolutions Process
Resolutions are crucial to providing members with a direct voice in determining the RMA’s advocacy priorities. The RMA Board of Directors reviews the policy every two years, which often leads to amendments. The policy was recently reviewed, which resulted in minor changes in several areas. The RMA's Resolutions Committee Chair and Vice President Kara Westerlund recently lead a member webinar to explain the changes and answer any questions.

Uniquely Rural - Municipal Access to Property Tax Revenues
Переглядів 42Рік тому
Municipalities rely on property taxes to fund infrastructure, services, and municipal operations. Because rural municipalities have low populations and high levels of industrial activity, RMA members receive most of their property taxes from non-residential properties, and in particular oil and gas properties such as wells and pipelines.

Without highspeed internet, rural Albertans are being left behind. Learn more at rmalberta.com/uniquely-rural/rural-internet.
Uniquely Rural - Municipal Funding
Переглядів 47Рік тому
Despite their importance in providing crucial services and infrastructure, municipalities have limited funding sources, with municipal property taxes being the most significant. However, property taxes alone are not sufficient for municipalities to fulfill their delegated responsibilities, which is where provincial grant funding comes in.

Uniquely Rural - Municipal Autonomy
Переглядів 138Рік тому
Municipalities exist to provide local services in a way that suits local needs. RMA members take this responsibility seriously, and seek to provide services that meet the needs of residents and industry in a cost effective manner. However, in recent years, provincial policies have eroded municipal autonomy by limiting the ability of municipalities to make local land use planning decisions, incr...

Переглядів 74Рік тому
The RMA is calling on parties and candidates to support development of a rural lens to ensure that policy, funding, and program decisions consider rural perspectives.

Paul Talks 11 - Joining the RMA Board of Directors
Thanks for providing this UA-cam - I was not able to log in to the original meeting. This is great.
Well Doug missed out. Just like most Easterners in Canada. Time to leave them behind.
And also the toughness of Texas. To stand tall and defeat overreach of Feds.
AB has an attitude similar to the native MX who live daily in happiness.
If solar panels can be installed on a roof of a home, or a building, that would free up the land. This would be good for individual land owners, including farmers, acreage owners, and those with traplines. Cheers!
Dude this was really creative 😂😂
Hi how can you assist me migrate to Albarta through rural renewable stream program.
I love how this was shoot😂😂😂
An organisation that provides support deserves a stable camera. Hand held doesn't work here well. In order to provide a peppy feel to the video it'll be best to play around at the edit. I saw a lot of your videos in this channel... they have come out really well in terms of presentation, duration, content etc.

We all love our RCMP officers here in Rural Alberta but I believe a Provincial Police force will give us the independence we deserve... Why doesn't anyone complain about the OPP...?
I think if the province made it worthwhile for existing officers to stay I believe this is not really an issue... I would not want to displace any of our existing men and women of honour...
Great work Paul!
