"The City of Chestermere has had the pleasure of working with Alberta Counsel over the past year. Their insights into provincial and regional matters - and their help arranging meetings with ministers - have been invaluable. The webinars are informative, and the networking events always worthwhile. I highly recommend Alberta Counsel's services to other municipalities."

- Mayor Shannon Dean, City of Chestermere

"Alberta Counsel exceeded every expectation. Jon Wescott and Aileen Burke brought deep expertise and real-world understanding to our council training - breaking down complex governance and liability issues into clear, usable lessons. They kept energy high, encouraged tough questions, and left every participant more confident in their role. It was, hands down, the best training we've ever had."

- Adam Kozakiewicz, CAO, Town of Two Hills
