Why Saskatchewan Finance Pros Fit Right In
Here are a few fun reasons why Saskatchewan and GFOA Alberta are a great match!
Interesting Finance Facts about Saskatchewan:
- Saskatchewan is the birthplace of Medicare (thanks, Tommy Douglas)—talk about budgeting with impact!
- You’ve got over 700 urban and rural municipalities, many of which are managing tight resources and bold goals—sound familiar?
- Saskatchewan’s GDP is among the highest per capita in Canada, and your municipal budgets stretch across massive rural areas—you get creative with your cash.
- The province is home to some of the most innovative municipal collaborations—we see you, regional partnerships!
- Regina is home to the University of Regina’s Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy—a breeding ground for future finance leaders.
Why GFOA Alberta Makes Sense for You:
- Relevant Professional Development for the unique challenges of smaller municipalities and rural regions.
- Networking that goes beyond the border—because who better to talk shop with than your finance cousins next door?
- Workshops, webinars, and conferences designed by people who get municipal finance (and probably know your struggles with audits and tight timelines).
- Very affordable pay one fee and sign up as many members as you wish from your municipality. Flat rates by population
- Bonus: You’ll get to hang out with Ricky, our budget-loving AI sidekick. He’s borderless too!

Hello GFOA AB Members,
At GFOA Alberta, we’re a community driving innovation, professional growth, and stronger municipal leadership. This year’s conference in Lethbridge is shaping up to be another great event. We have sold out the exhibitor space, 40 exhibitors! This is the most exhibitors we have ever showcased at a conference.
In addition, a big thanks to all our sponsors, most all sponsors have returned to support GFOA Alberta for another year. We are not quite there yet, but we may be required to cap registration as well! At this point we have approximately 63 more registrations than the 2010 Lethbridge conference (that was a great conference as well, remember Barry emceeing?)
