Municipal Growth Framework
Off
As Canada’s population grows, so too does the need for healthy, equitable, and thriving communities. We need a new Municipal Growth Framework—an innovative revenue tool that grows with the economy and redefines the way we engage across orders of government.
Housing
Off
Housing is the bedrock of livable and prosperous communities. We advocate for action on social and affordable housing so all Canadians have a decent place to call home.
Homelessness
Off
Canada’s homelessness crisis is reaching a breaking point, and municipalities are on the front lines of it. We advocate for tangible, permanent solutions so local governments can tackle this unprecedented issue with a full suite of appropriate measures.
Infrastructure
Off
Local governments own approximately 60 percent of the public infrastructure that supports our economy and quality of life. Through advocacy and support, we help them build a stronger Canada.
Rural, northern and remote
Off
Rural, northern and remote communities are integral to Canada’s economy and quality of life. With our advocacy and support, their local governments are building a brighter future.
Public safety
Off
Municipalities help keep Canadians safe and secure. We work to ensure that they have the right tools to protect Canadians from crime, health risks and emergencies.
Climate and sustainability
Off
Scaling up local green innovation is the key to tackling climate change. We help communities become more sustainable and better prepared for extreme weather.
Public transit
Off
Public transit is the backbone of livable, competitive and sustainable cities. We're shaping groundbreaking federal investments to kick-start the next era of world-class public transit in Canada.
