Description

The Ministry is committed to establishing and maintaining a roster of experienced mediators who are available to provide services to municipalities. The roster is not to be seen as a certification of competency of any mediator. Instead, the Ministry will provide municipalities with a list of mediators who have achieved a certain level of training and experience. It should be noted that the Alberta Municipal Affairs does not restrict the selection of mediators to its roster and municipalities are free to select a mediator who is not on the roster. The Ministry will use its roster in responding to requests for recommendations of qualified mediators.
