Provincial engagement: Have your say on RAPID Force!

The Rural Alberta Provincial Integrated Defence (RAPID) Force expands the authorities and roles of Fish and Wildlife Officers and Sheriff Highway Patrol so they can respond to emergencies on behalf of the RCMP to shorten response times to rural 911 calls. Provide your input today.

CASUAL LEGAL: Topic of Interest: Why Section 4 Matters

Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) requires all written agreements for payment of interest at a rate of any period less than one year, to contain an express statement of the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which the other rate or percentage is equivalent.

This course – previously offered in sold-out sessions during July and August – has been adapted to include information for elected officials about COVID-19 impacts on municipal finances. It will be facilitated by Rodney Boyko, an experienced EOEP facilitator and municipal Chief Financial Officer.
