Abstract: In 2019 the province returned to its conservative roots with an overwhelming vote for the United Conservative Party (UCP) led by Premier Jason Kenney. They formed the Government of Alberta on April 30, 2019 with 62 of 87 seats, winning over 70% of the vote in a number of ridings. Electoral support for the NDP was largely limited to urban centers. Voter turnout in the 2019 election was the highest recorded since 1982 at 64%.

At the local level, many of the challenges faced by rural municipalities are long-standing, but increasingly compounded by economic decline, provincial fiscal policy, deteriorating infrastructure, increasing urbanization, aging populations, and diminishing services. The province is home to 356 municipal units, of which 260 are recognized as urban municipalities, meaning they are defined as a city, town, village, or summer village under the Municipal Government Act.

Summary Report to the IRCC

Abstract:
Refugees in Canada and beyond are largely destined for resettlement in large cities. However, through sponsorship, dispersal policies, and more informal mechanisms, more rural communities and smaller cities are welcoming refugees. Despite the increasing diversity of resettlement communities, research remains concentrated on large cities, leaving a gap in knowledge about resettlement in rural regions, towns, villages, and small cities. This report presents the results from three research activities: (1) a Scoping Literature Review; (2) Virtual Focus Groups & Interviews; and (3) a National Bilingual Survey

Résumé:
Les réfugiés au Canada et ailleurs sont en grande partie destinés à être réinstallés dans les grandes villes. Cependant, grâce au parrainage, aux politiques de dispersion et à des mécanismes informels, un plus grand nombre de collectivités rurales et de petites villes accueillent des réfugiés. Malgré la diversité croissante des collectivités de réinstallation, la recherche demeure axée sur les grandes villes, ce qui entraîne des lacunes dans les connaissances sur la réinstallation dans les régions rurales, les municipalités, les villages et les petites villes. Le rapport présente les résultats de trois activités de recherche:
(1) Examen de la littérature; (2) Entrevues et groupes de discussion virtuels; (3) Sondage national bilingue.
