At the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA), we’re proud to represent Alberta’s 69 counties and municipal districts as an independent association. Since 1909, we have helped rural municipalities achieve strong, effective, local government. We provide Advocacy and Business Services, including cooperative procurement through the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada and insurance through RMA Insurance.
Our strategic plan sets goals to meet our members’ diverse needs, while our annual reports keep us accountable to our members. Download the RMA 2023 – 2027 Strategic Plan.
