Summary

The most recent meeting of the FCM Board of Directors, convened in Ottawa, Ontario, from December 3-5, 2024, encompassed a range of subjects, including strategic positioning and advocacy for municipalities in anticipation of the forthcoming federal election, avenues for municipalities to fulfill the priorities of Canadians, and FCM's long-term Strategic Plan.

 

The recent Board meetings coincided with FCM annual Advocacy Days. Over 100 meetings were held with MPs and Senators, along with informative sessions for all members.
