International Economic Development Week

Economic development is as important as ever, and we recognize how economic developers are bolstering municipalities and helping Alberta’s communities recover from the pandemic.

Alberta Municipalities is joining Economic Developers Alberta (EDA) to help amplify this important work by inviting you to officially proclaim May 6 to 10 as Economic Development Week. 

The EDA and Alberta Municipalities have created the information you need to take part in the 2024 Community Challenge in Alberta. Follow these steps:

  1. Customize the 2024 Sample Resolution.
  2. Have your Council/Mayor officially proclaim the week in your community and sign the resolution.
  3. Share the proclamation with local media, and on your social media pages, and tag us!
  4. Send an admin [at] edaalberta.ca (email) to EDA to have it added to the EDA website.

Involvement in the 2024 Community Challenge gives your community a voice, lets your community know you value the contribution of economic development, and helps support the work your economic development staff does throughout the year.
