Through unprecedented influence and access to key decision-makers in every federal party, FCM is securing historic progress for municipalities of all sizes.
Together, we are:
- actively championing your local infrastructure priorities by advocating for a strengthened Canada Community Building Fund and pushing for the next generation of infrastructure programs.
- securing funds to help municipalities provide more housing to those who need it most through the Rapid Housing Initiative and the Housing Accelerator Fund.
- empowering local governments to make on-the-ground changes for a more resilient Canada through the development of a new Municipal Growth Framework. That means leveraging our political influence to ensure that our municipalities are equipped to respond to the evolving needs of our growing national population and convene orders of government to enact meaningful and lasting change.
- enabling widespread support and acceleration of community-based climate adaptation initiatives through the Green Municipal Fund, government’s National Adaptation Strategy and the top-up to the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.
- gaining new investments in public transit and rural transportation.
- building trusted national and international programs that build capacity on climate innovation, asset management, gender parity and more.
