Alberta Municipal Affairs is a ministry of the Executive Council of Alberta. Its major responsibilities include assisting municipalities in the provision of local government, administering a safety system for the construction and maintenance of buildings and equipment, and managing Alberta's network of municipal and library system boards. In October 2011, Hector Goudreau was replaced as the Minister for Municipal Affairs by Doug Griffiths. == History == The Municipal Affairs ministry was established on December 20, 1911, following the example set in Saskatchewan, with the purpose of implementing the new municipal legislation regarding incorporation of towns, villages, rural municipal districts, improvement districts and cities. Legislation passed in 1968, such as the ''Municipal Government Act'' and ''Local Authorities Election Act'', further improved and consolidated the provision of local government in the province. On December 15, 2006, the new ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was created from ''Alberta Municipal Affairs'' and ''Seniors and Community Supports''. Libraries, community and voluntary sector services, previously under the authority of Alberta Community Development, were amalgamated in the new ministry. On March 12, 2008, Premier Stelmach reverted ''Municipal Affairs and Housing'' back to ''Municipal Affairs'' by moving the responsibilities over housing and the voluntary sector to the new ministries of Housing and Urban Affairs and Culture and Community Spirit respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberta Municipal Affairs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
