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. Through dedicated advocacy and a suite of valued business services, including comprehensive coverage through RMA Insurance and cooperative procurement, insurance, and group benefits through Canoe, we strive to strengthen and support rural Alberta.
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.
