Position statements provide a concise overview of the RMA’s positions on key policy areas.
The RMA is committed to advocating for the rural municipal perspective with government leaders, industry, and other stakeholders. To support these efforts, the RMA develops and periodically updates a series of Position Statements that summarize and reflect the RMA perspective on key policy areas. These position statements are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors twice each year. Volume 1 of the 2025 Position Statements is now available on RMA’s website. The RMA encourages members to review position statements and use them as a resource in local advocacy efforts. Position Statements are organized into the following categories:
- About RMA
- Agriculture
- Broadband and Connectivity
- Climate Change
- Community Services
- Energy
- Environment
- Health
- Industry and Resource Development
- Municipal Finances
- Municipal Governance
- 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.
