Organizations that
Advocate/Lobby to
City Council
Policy Terms of Reference
Recommendation:
That the September 8, 2008, Corporate
Services Department Report
2008COC012, be received for
information.
Report Summary
This report discusses ways to
provide guidelines to organizations
that lobby Council and terms of
reference for development of a
lobbying policy.
Previous Council/Committee Action
At the March 3, 2008, Community
Services Committee meeting, the
following motion was passed:
That Administration report to the
September 22, 2008, Community
Services Committee with:
1.
Terms of Reference for a policy
regarding funding
advocacy/lobby organizations
that advocate to City Council.
Report

Edmonton’s vision and strategic plan
was created with input from citizens
and encourages increased public
participation. Along with increased
participation in Council’s decision
making process, comes increased
and often, competing demands. The
concern with developing a policy
restricting groups that receive
funding from the City from
advocating to City Council, would be
a real or perceived restriction on a
person’s ability to advocate on
behalf of their organization.
 Two recent pieces of legislation
governing lobbying decision makers
have been developed provincially
and federally. The federal Lobbying
Act came into force on July 2, 2008.
Similarly, the provincial Lobbyist
Act, passed in 2007 is expected to
be proclaimed this year. The federal
Lobbyist Act requires groups that
pay their lobbyists to register if they
are lobbying decision makers. The
proposed provincial Lobbyist Act
exempts not-for-profit groups from
having to register. Neither of these
acts otherwise restrict non-profit
groups that receive government
funding from advocating to decision
makers. Neither act applies to
municipal councils.
 There is no place that prohibits nonprofit groups that receive
government funding from lobbying
decision makers.
Definitions
 The words ‘advocate’ and ‘lobby’
have been used interchangeably.
For the purpose of this report,
‘lobbying’ includes ‘advocating.’
Lobbying is communicating to try to
influence a government decision.
Advocating is speaking in favour, or
public support of a recommendation
or cause.
Organizations
 Organizations that engage in the
municipal decision making process
range from those that are created
and/or appointed by Council to
organizations that have no formal
governance relationship with the City
of Edmonton. Council passes

Organizations that Advocate/Lobby to City Council Policy Terms of Reference
bylaws governing agencies, boards
and commissions they create.
 It is, therefore, those organizations
with no formal relationship with the
City of Edmonton, other than through
funding, that would be affected by a
policy. A list of organizations that
receive funding from the City of
Edmonton can be found in
Attachment 2.
Criteria for Groups that Receive Funding
from the City of Edmonton
 Funding criteria in bylaws such as
the Community Investment Grant
Bylaw 14157 or policies such as the
Community Investment Grants to
Organizations and Individuals could
be amended to include lobbying and
conflict of interest restrictions.
Do Other Canadian Cities Have Policies
on Providing Funding to Lobby Groups
 Of six Canadian cities surveyed,
Calgary, Vancouver, Saskatoon,
Winnipeg, Toronto and Halifax, none
has a policy regarding funding
groups that lobby Council. However,
some program criteria stipulated that
municipal funding not be used on
lobbying activities.
Next Steps
 No further action is planned by
Administration unless Council gives
direction to proceed with a policy.
 A process to develop terms of
reference is outlined in Attachment
1. If Council decides to proceed with
a policy, the first phase would be
consultation with affected
stakeholders. A terms of reference
would be presented to Council for
approval after consultation with
stakeholders.
Policy
No lobbying or advocacy policy exists.

Research
Research on how other Canadian municipalities clarify roles for organizations that advocate or
lobby City Council would be conducted. Research would also be conducted on how the
principles of the Government of Canada Lobbyist Act and Province of Alberta Lobbyist Bill might
apply in the municipal context.
Policy Draft
Corporate Services will draft a City Policy for Community Services Committee’s and Council’s
consideration.
A City Procedure will be drafted for Senior Management Team’s approval.
Optional
Non-Statutory Public Hearing
Community Services Committee may wish to consult with affected stakeholders by holding a
non-statutory public hearing before making its recommendation to Council.
Definitions:
1. Advocate: An advocate is someone who supports or speaks in favour. An advocate may
plead for another person. Advocacy is the public support for or recommendation of a cause
or policy.
2. Lobbyist: Lobbying is communicating with a municipal government official (for example, a
Councillor or Administration) to try to influence a government decision.
Lobbying can include:
a.
b.
c.
d.
telephone calls
letter writing
e-mails
face-to-face conversations
Talking to your Councillor isn’t considered lobbying, unless the conversation is about
influencing a Council decision for your own benefit. Neither is talking to your Councillor or
Administration about how existing an bylaw or policy applies to you or an organization.
Lobbyists may be employees of an organization, they may be hired as consultants, or they
may be volunteers but receive a stipend or honorarium for their work. Lobbyists may be
classified in two ways:


Page 2 of 2
organizational lobbyists are hired by organizations, and lobby the City as part of
their jobs
consultant lobbyists are paid to lobby on a specific issue on behalf of their clients
