Join more than 1,500 elected officials from coast to coast to coast for FCM’s 2025 Annual Conference and Trade Show—Canada’s largest pan-Canadian gathering of elected officials.

Municipalities are the engines of national prosperity, on the front line of the country's most pressing issues. Whether it's affordable housing, enhanced public safety or infrastructure renewal, they provide essential services and support the vitality of our local economies. Across the country, communities are coming together, listening to Canadians and finding concrete solutions to meet their needs.

The theme Stronger, Together: Local Strength, National Prosperity, embodies the power of unity, collaboration and solidarity between communities across the country. In an ever-changing economic and political landscape, we must unite to share our challenges and implement solutions to make a difference, together.
