Following the passing of the Municipal Government Amendment Act (2015) and the Modernized Municipal Government Act (2016), a number of regulations had to be updated or created. The first round of these regulations are now available for review.
The AAMDC has prepared a document, available here, that outlines the changes to the regulations with some additional commentary. Alberta Municipal Affairs has provided surveys for each of the regulations to allow feedback and input during this 60-day comment period which ends March 31st, 2017.
The regulations available fall under three broad categories:
Governance and Administration Regulations
