2010 Minister’s Awards for Municipal Excellence

The Honourable Hector Goudreau, Minister of Municipal Affairs,  is pleased to announce the ninth annual Minister’s Awards for Municipal Excellence, which formally recognize local government excellence and promote knowledge sharing among municipalities.  These awards offer an opportunity to recognize the truly great work being done by local governments in Alberta.

An independent review committee, comprised of representatives from various municipal associations, will recommend award recipients in four categories:

·         Innovation Award – recognizes a leading practice embodying the first use of an idea in a municipal context in Alberta;

·         Partnership Award – recognizes a leading municipal practice involving consultation, co-ordination, and co-operation with other municipalities, jurisdictions, or organizations;

·         Safe Communities Award – recognizes a leading practice that promotes or improves public safety in municipalities; and

·         Smaller Municipalities Award – recognizes the innovative practices developed by communities with less than 2,500 residents.

Click on the appropriate submission form for the category of your choice.  Complete the submission form and the Practice Collection Form and submit both to menet@gov.ab.ca by June 25, 2010. 

Awards will be given out at the fall conventions of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties and the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association.

The Municipal Excellence Network is an initiative developed through the collaborative efforts of Alberta municipalities, municipal associations, and Alberta Municipal Affairs. These partners are working together to provide an online resource tool that features a searchable collection of leading municipal practices from around the province.  The MEnet website is currently undergoing a redevelopment. The site will launch in the near future. Please watch this page for further updates.
