Elected Officials Network
Alberta’s network for elected officials leading the way on local climate action.
The Elected Officials Peer Network (EPN) brings together municipal elected officials from across Alberta to strengthen climate leadership, build political confidence, and support collaborative approaches to community resilience. Through peer learning and shared leadership, members learn from one another’s experiences, explore proven tools, and gain the strategic insight needed to navigate the complexities of local climate governance.
Members of the EPN benefit from peer-informed learning opportunities, practical resources developed with elected officials in mind, and a supportive, action-oriented environment informed by the experience of local leaders.
“It has been a great resource for me as an elected official. It connects me to other elected officials in Alberta working to move climate action forward and provides me with current resources and data on climate change related topics in Alberta.”
Councillor Rachel Swendseid, Town of Okotoks

Program History: From AMCLC to EPN
The EPN builds on the success of the Alberta Municipal Climate Leadership Council (AMCLC), which ran from September 2022 to October 2025, engaged 45 members, and delivered 10 sessions focused on practical climate leadership for councils. The AMCLC established a strong foundation of relationships, shared language, and trust among elected officials—momentum the EPN now carries forward with a refined peer‑network model and updated program framework.
