Alberta Municipalities Conference Recap

Mar 10, 2025

Last week, I enjoyed representing Lloydminster at the Alberta Municipalities Spring Leaders Caucus. I learned so much as a Councillor of 116 days (today) about how to see municipal challenges as opportunities and about the vital importance of connecting with others who have experience. I loved meeting leaders from other cities, towns and villages across Alberta - what talent we have to take on whatever feels uncertain. 

🙏🏾A truly enjoyable part of being on council for me is representing Lloydminster.

🔁 Here is a reposted highlight from MLA EDMONTON-CITY CENTER David Shepard at last week’s ABMunis Conference:

“Have had a lot of Alberta municipal leaders come through recently, but it was a particular pleasure to meet Councilor Michele Charles Gustafson from Lloydminster.

There are currently fewer than 20 Black Albertans in elected office. So when we see each other, we say hello!

Wishing Michele all the best in her first term and looking forward to keeping in touch.”
