Municipal leaders are on the front lines of the daily challenges and opportunities facing Canadians. They’re also contending with a rapidly changing landscape, including adapting on-the-ground leadership to an increasingly interconnected world. What does the future hold for the role of municipalities in tackling local, national, and global challenges? How do we renew the federal-municipal relationship? And how do we pave the path to more prosperous, equitable and vibrant communities in the 21st century?

Join Senator Simons and municipal leaders for an in-depth discussion on the evolving municipal-federal relationship.
