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. 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 Position Statements
- Agriculture
- Broadband and Connectivity
- Climate Change

- Energy

- Industry and Resource Development
- Interprovincial Comparisons
- Municipal Elections
