Register Now for Upcoming Munis 101 Sessions

Registration is open for fall Munis 101 sessions, and additional sessions in January have been announced

The Elected Officials Education Program (EOEP), in partnership with Alberta Municipal Affairs, is delivering Munis 101 courses across the province to help municipalities meet Municipal Government Act (MGA) orientation requirements. Although the courses are mainly intended for new and returning councillors, CAOs are encouraged to attend to supplement the topics covered with municipal-specific information. Munis 101 is also the foundational course for the Municipal Elected Leaders Certificate, which the EOEP bestows in partnership with the University of Alberta’s Augustana Extended Education program on councillors who complete all seven EOEP courses.

EOEP is offering Munis 101 through regional sessions across the province, in addition to sessions at AUMA and RMA conventions in November. Based on demand, EOEP is organizing an additional regional session in Blackfalds and a virtual session in January.

Register today for the following sessions:

  • Whitecourt at the Whitecourt Baptist Church from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Thursday, November 4, and 8:30 am to 3:30 pm on Friday, November 5.
