Voters encouraged to ‘think Alberta, vote local’ this election

Written by ECA Review

Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) asks voters to ‘Think Alberta, Vote Local’ during the 2023 provincial general election to get political parties and candidates to consider and address critical issues that affect the association’s 275 member communities.

We encourage Albertans to ask candidates who show up at their doorsteps, ‘Who has the best plan for their community?’ when it comes to three key municipal priorities – Community Building (infrastructure), Community Safety (including policing) and Community Healthcare (including Emergency Medical Services).

Numerous provincial governments have tackled these issues with varying degrees of success over the past 15 years.

“The complex challenges our member communities face did not erupt overnight,” said President Cathy Heron.

“Alberta Municipalities realizes it will take time for any provincial government, regardless of political stripe, to address the current $30-billion infrastructure deficit, the root causes of crime and public disorder, and Alberta’s strained healthcare system.

Albertans need to know how the political parties and candidates intend to address these complex challenges if they are elected on May 29.”
