The Public Engagement Guide was developed to assist municipalities and to ensure municipal policies and procedures are in line with the recently revised Municipal Government Act (MGA).
The recently developed Public Engagement Guide by the RMA, the AUMA, and with support from Alberta Municipal Affairs offers a step-by-step look at how to fulfill the requirements of your Public Engagement Policy and make public engagement work for you. Public engagement is your approach to involving people in your municipality’s decision-making process. Supplementing the Guide is the Public Engagement Workbook that provides easy to use templates to help you develop, plan, and implement your municipal approach. There are references throughout the workbook, indicating where municipal staff and elected officials will find templates that correspond with the content in this guide.
