Summary

In our review of the Item FA4.2 on our agenda, we believe that the City of Toronto joining with other municipalities will be a key part of advocating for improved funding from the provincial government for improved municipally delivered French services.

 

In 2021, City Council directed the City Manager to join the Association française des municipalités de l'Ontario (AFMO) (in item 2021.EX22.12). This motion seeks an update from the City Manager’s Office on the status of this work.
