This year’s conference theme, Building the future together, highlights the pivotal role municipalities play in shaping Canada’s future. As communities work to build more housing, advance major projects and strengthen infrastructure, local leaders are driving the progress our country needs.

Rooted in both the literal and collective act of building, this theme reflects the progress happening on the ground as well as the shared work of creating inclusive, resilient and sustainable communities.

As FCM marks 125 years of municipal leadership, the theme recognizes the pressures communities face and celebrates the strength, innovation and collaboration that unite municipalities across Canada. Together, we are building a stronger future for generations to come.
