Position statements provide a concise overview of the RMA’s positions on key policy areas
The RMA takes pride in representing the rural municipal perspective to government decision-makers, industry, and other stakeholders. As part of its advocacy efforts, the RMA develops and updates a series of position statements that summarize and reflect the RMA perspective on key policy areas. These position statements are updated and approved by the Board of Directors twice each year. Volume 2 of the 2023 Position Statements is now available on the RMA’s website. The RMA encourages members to review the position statements and use them as a resource in local advocacy efforts. Position statements are divided into the following categories:
- About RMA
- Agriculture
- Broadband and Connectivity
- Climate Change
- Community Services
- Energy
- Environment
- Health
- Industry and Resource Development
- Interprovincial Comparisons
- Municipal Finances
- Municipal Service Delivery
- Municipal Taxation and Assessment
- Planning and Development
- Policing and Rural Crime
- Rural Economic Development
- Transportation and Infrastructure
If more detail is needed on a certain issue, please search for related resolutions on the RMA’s Resolution Database or contact the advocacy team member listed in each position statement category to discuss.
