Minister’s Awards for Municipal and Public Library Excellence

Introduction

The Minister’s Awards for Municipal Excellence recognizes and celebrates the excellence and innovation exemplified by Alberta municipalities. Since 2002, the awards program along with the former Municipal Excellence Network has highlighted and shared initiatives including new and unique approaches to issues, streamlined processes for existing practices, and creative community partnerships.

Similarly, the Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Library Service recognizes and celebrates the innovative programs and services offered by Alberta public libraries. Since 2010, the awards program has served as a means to identify, acknowledge, and encourage best practices in library service and to capture and communicate ideas that can be replicated in public libraries across the province.

In 2022, Municipal Affairs joined these 2 programs to create the Minister’s Awards for Municipal and Public Library Excellence. This broader program recognizes innovation and excellence by both municipalities and library boards.
