The Small Communities Committee is tasked to put a “small communities lens” to issues, policies and activities that the AUMA is engaged in. The Small Communities Newsletter provides the medium for the Committee to provide information which it believes will be of special interest to small communities. It also provides opportunity for the AUMA members to learn more about small communities and their unique challenges and opportunities.
Newsletters feature municipal profiles, reports on AUMA events along with articles on issues of the moment. The Committee always welcomes feedback and ideas. Feel free to contact Zohreh Saher with any suggestions at zsaher@auma.ca

The Women in Municipal Government Committee works to raise awareness of the importance of women in governance and to strengthen the participation of women in the democratic process. The Committee also provides a “women in municipal government” lens to issues, policies and activities that the AUMA is engaged in. The Committee’s work builds on the achievements of the Federation of Canadian Municipality’s Women in Politics Committee and locates it within the Alberta context.
The newsletter features articles of interest to those working to increase the participation of women in municipal government as well as highlights the work of the Committee. The Committee is always open to feedback and ideas for future issues. Please contact Marc Colbourne (Senior Project Coordinator – Welcoming and Inclusive Communities) at mcolbourne@auma.ca with your suggestions.

A Welcoming and Inclusive Community is one which is free from discrimination and where residents feel able to participate in all aspects of the social, cultural and economic life of the municipality. It is about creating a community with a positive reputation, where diversity adds to the social and economic vibrancy of the community and the quality of life enjoyed by all residents.
The Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Initiative is a partnership between the AUMA, the Alberta Human Rights Commission and the Human Rights and Citizenship branch of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit.
The newsletter features articles relevant to those interested in ensuring their community is welcoming and inclusive. We are always open to feedback and ideas for future issues. Please contact Marc Colbourne (Senior Project Coordinator – Welcoming and Inclusive Communities) at mcolbourne@auma.ca with your suggestions.
