Local Government Leadership Microcredential Series
Cape Breton University has decided to invest in developing and delivering Microcredentials in several key areas to address community and industry-identified needs in professional development and skills training. In short, Microcredentials are short and affordable learning experiences that focus on a specific skill or competency relevant to people looking to advance their skillset, for career development and personal growth.
Local Governance is one of the key topic areas we are focusing on in our initial offerings, and we are delivering five microcredentials in our Local Government Leadership Series, with the expertise of Dr. Gordon McIntosh, designed to meet professional development for senior administrators, managers, and elected officials.

Welcome to Alberta's Peer Network
You're constantly working to bring diverse groups of people together and get the job done.
The Peer Network for Dispute Resolution is a partnership that has created a group of peer mentors who municipal leaders can contact to obtain advice and/or assistance to help address local issues. Partnering organizations, including AAMDC, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association, the Local Government Administration Association, and the Alberta Rural Municipal Administrators Association each have two mentors representing their association. Other partners that help guide the program include Alberta Municipal Affairs, the Society of Local Government Managers, and the Alberta Arbitration and Mediation Society.
Municipal disputes are a unique blend of issues and personalities. Municipal leaders who have successfully resolved disputes are in the best position to offer advice about the challenges of finding solutions that benefit all involved.
Consider calling one of our peer mentors. These senior leaders can talk to you about your unique situation, suggest alternatives and give you a hand when you need.
