City Council and administration advocate tirelessly to the provincial and federal governments for more funding, resources and legislative changes that will improve life for the residents and businesses in Airdrie.

In 2025, advocacy for Airdrie's priorities included meetings with key ministers in Health, Transportation, Infrastructure, Education, Housing, Children & Family Services, Agriculture, Public Safety, Municipal Affairs and others.

Efforts focused on supporting the new wastewater pipeline and accompanying infrastructure, involving meetings with Cabinet Ministers, Airdrie MLA Angela Pitt, and Calgary region elected officials.

78 meetings with Provincial Cabinet Ministers or senior government of Alberta officials

Airdrie City Council representatives met with the Premier and  Cabinet Ministers to advance various key issues. Additionally, City Administration held meetings with Senior Administrators from the Government of Alberta (GOA).

Council and administration continued support for provincial engagement opportunities and regional collaboration around local inter-municipal initiatives.

Airdrie Day at the Alberta Legislature was born out of the need to build relationships with provincial decision makers. We wanted the Province to hear Airdrie's story and if we couldn't get them all to come to us, then we go to them!

This event supports the City's advocacy work by providing a venue to make connections with multiple provincial cabinet ministers, MLAs and other key senior government officials and share Airdrie's story in a way that is all our own.

There are many ways to support the City of Airdrie's advocacy efforts. A short letter, email or call to an elected official in another level of government sharing your concerns is a great place to start but staying engaged and participating in larger appeals for specific areas of need are very helpful as well.
