We are community builders.

ALBERTA URBAN MUNICIPALITIES ASSOCIATION Our vision

Our mission

AUMA is a change agent that enables municipalities to be a fully engaged order of government with the capacity to build thriving communities.

AUMA is the voice of urban municipalities and provides visionary leadership, solutionsbased advocacy, and service excellence.

We are community builders. We represent urban municipalities − including cities, towns, villages, summer villages, and specialized municipalities − where over 85% of Albertans live. Like our members, we are dynamic and constantly evolving. What remains constant is our commitment to providing solutions and resources for municipal issues and challenges. We work with elected and administrative leaders of Alberta’s urban municipalities to advocate for solutions to municipal issues, and to identify and develop opportunities that contribute to key components of community building − economic, environment, governance, infrastructure, and social.
