The Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board is an economic development group comprised of 13 member municipalities in the Greater Edmonton Area[1]. The organization manages a series of initiatives funded primarily by member investment, including economic growth management, climate risk assessments, and vulnerability assessments.[2]
History
[edit]The Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board Established was established in 2017 under the Modernized Municipal Government Act and EMRB Regulation. After pulling out of the Alberta Capital Region Alliance (ACRA), Edmonton lobbied the provincial government to establish some form of regional government that would be more effective in fostering regional cooperation between it and its surrounding municipalities. As a result, Premier Ed Stelmach announced in December 2007 that a governing board would be established for Edmonton's Capital Region.[3] Four months later, the Capital Region Board was formed on April 15, 2008 with the passing of the Capital Region Board Regulation by Order in Council 127/2008 under the authority of the Municipal Government Act.[4]
On October 26, 2017,[5] the Capital Region Board (CRB) was renamed to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB).[6]
Member municipalities
[edit]The original Capital Region Board (CRB) was originally established with 25 participating or member municipalities,[7] differing slightly from the municipalities that Statistics Canada included in the Edmonton CMA as the CRB excluded entities which did not take active involvement in the greater regional planning activity (four Indian reserves, eight summer villages and one village) while including the non-CMA Lamont County and the Town of Lamont.[8] The number of member municipalities was reduced to 24 on September 10, 2010[9] after the Village of New Sarepta dissolved to hamlet status under the jurisdiction of Leduc County on September 1, 2010.[10] Concurrent with the CRB's name change to the EMRB in October 2017, municipal membership decreased from 24 to 13, with the two non-CMA CRB members (Lamont County and Town of Lamont) no longer included, and only those municipalities within the CMA with a population of 5,000 or more remain as members (smaller municipalities are represented by their municipal districts).[11]
More specifically, the EMRB includes:[11][12]
- six cities (Beaumont, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove);
- one specialized municipality (Strathcona County, which includes the Sherwood Park urban service area);
- three municipal districts (Leduc County, Parkland County, and Sturgeon County); and
- three towns (Devon, Morinville, and Stony Plain).
