About Council 

The Town of Taber's Council is comprised of a dedicated Mayor and six Councillors, all committed to serving the community with integrity and transparency. Council is tasked with developing and evaluating the policies and programs that shape our municipality, in line with the Government of Alberta's Municipal Government Act. They entrust the execution of these policies to our capable Administration team (sometimes known as "Town Staff"), ensuring effective and efficient governance.

We strongly encourage public participation in our democratic process. Regular Council meetings are open to the public and held in Council Chambers at 3:30 pm on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. During the months of July, August, and December, meetings are held only on the third Monday of the month. If a statutory holiday falls on a Monday, the meeting is rescheduled to the following Tuesday.

About Town Administration and the Chief Administrative Officer

Our Town Administration (sometimes referred to as the "Town Staff") are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the municipality, ensuring that the decisions made by Council are implemented effectively. The Administration team is led by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), who acts as the primary liaison between the Council and the municipal staff. The CAO is the only employee of Council.

The CAO oversees all departments and ensures that the Town's policies, programs, and services are delivered efficiently and in line with Council's strategic goals, policies, and budgets. The CAO is supported by a team of senior administrators, each heading key departments essential to the functioning of the municipality.

Each department works collaboratively to deliver high-quality services to the residents of Taber. The Administration team ensures that municipal operations run smoothly and that community needs are met efficiently. Need something done in our community? Reach out to our Administrative Staff as your first option and they will either be able to assist or point you in the correct direction!
