The Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) is a progressive, independent association committed to meeting the diverse and changing needs of Alberta’s 69 counties and municipal districts. Since 1909, the RMA has helped rural municipalities achieve strong, effective local government through advocacy and business services. On behalf of our members, our advocacy team works closely with key stakeholders to ensure that provincial and federal decision-makers, industry, and other relevant parties understand and incorporate rural Alberta’s best interests in their policies. We also offer business services to our members, including cooperative procurement programs through the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada and insurance through RMA Insurance.
