Municipalities are the most dynamic and innovative order of government in Canada. Being on the front lines of Canadians’ daily lives means that municipal leaders must remain responsive to new challenge and opportunities as they arise with innovative ideas, cutting edge technology and vital partnerships.

That’s where FCM’s Collective Webinar series comes in. Through this series of free online sessions, we aim to connect you to the latest thinking around some of your community’s most pressing challenges and biggest opportunities for economic growth.

These webinars—delivered alongside partners from the most cutting-edge leaders in the private sector—will help you re-examine your community’s needs and develop new solutions to stay ahead of the curve.

The 2025-2026 Collective series is packed with important topics, insightful conversations and expert speakers. We look forward to seeing you!
