Remove Foothills County as a member of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB).

The Issue

After careful review of the Calgary Metropolitan Regional Plan, https://www.calgarymetroregion.ca   Foothills County has voted against the Regional Plan. We are concerned about the Board’s voting structure giving advantage to the Urban members due to the unfair proportion of 7 Urbans vs. 3 Rural municipalities, a fourth layer of government adding more red tape, and with the protectionist Urban bias in this Regional Plan that results in a loss of Rural opportunity and increased development and business costs.  We ask that you join us in sending a strong message to the Minister of Municipal Affairs that we, the residents of Foothills County, do not support this Board or the Regional Plan.  Please allow us to design our future using existing intermunicipal processes and remove us from the CMRB and this devastating Regional Plan. https://www.foothillscountyab.ca/
