Agencies

For the purposes of the Public Agencies Governance Framework, an agency is a board, commission, tribunal or other organization:

• established by government but not part of a government department;
• that has been given responsibility to perform a public function;
• that is accountable to government;
• that has some degree of autonomy from government; and
• for which the government holds the primary power of appointment.

The Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA)  requires that all public agencies have a Mandate and Roles Document and a Code of Conduct.  Both must be made available to the public.  (Note, this requirement will come into force on proclamation of the APAGA on Feburary 1, 2010.  Until then, all documents may not be available.)

To view an agency's Mandate and Roles Document or Code of Conduct, simply click on the appropriate Department below and select the agency.
