ARMA Edmonton is a community of local records and information management professionals who elevate the profile of the profession through education, networking, online resources, and connections to job opportunities. If you are not a member of our association, we extend a hand of professional fellowship and invite you to visit the monthly chapter meetings happening virtually. Come and experience the benefits of ARMA participation!



As our members live, meet, and work in the province of Alberta we acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland.

We make this acknowledgment as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting. 


ABOUT US

About the Edmonton Chapter

A formal records management program was legislated in Alberta during the early 1970s. This resulted in high demand for records management training and education. Some key individuals working for the provincial government at the time collaborated to establish a chapter in the Edmonton area. On October 12, 1975, the ARMA Edmonton Chapter was chartered. Today the chapter provides training, education, and networking opportunities to members.
