As a solutions-based Association, the AUMA develops various toolkits to assist members in addressing the many challenges they face. Existing Toolkits are continually updated and new Toolkits are constantly being developed to address the dynamic environment and changing times in which we live.
These Toolkits enable a common approach that can be used by all members when addressing challenges such as Affordable Housing, Ambulance service and Urban/Rural Cost Sharing. Members are encouraged to visit often to see what is new!

Welcoming & Inclusive Committees Toolkit
This Toolkit was designed to assist Municipalities in Alberta wishing to take action to reduce racism and discrimination and build welcoming and inclusive communities. It was developed to serve as a tool for municipalities pursuing a social inclusion and/or building welcoming communities agenda and to support municipalities that are joining the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination initiative.

Affordable Housing Toolkit
AUMA’s Housing and Social Development Task Force has long maintained that housing and social concerns are issues that every municipality, to varying degrees, is dealing with today, and will continue to deal with in the future. As communities grow, the issue of affordable housing becomes more pressing as municipalities try to contend with the influx of people, and the need to find these people places to live. Learn more
Ground Ambulance Transition Toolkit
To ensure municipalities are well equipped to assess the long term interests of their community, AUMA developed a toolkit to provide municipalities with information they would need to consider before agreeing to a transfer of responsibilities to an RHA. Key questions to ask during the transition phase would be established to assist municipalities in understanding the risk and reaching a fair and balanced agreement. Learn more

Integrated Community Sustainability Plan Template
AUMA is pleased to present for your consideration an ICSP template that can, in our view, be utilized to fulfill the ICSP requirement of the Canada-Alberta federal gas tax transfer agreement.
