Our cities and towns are central to Canada’s FROM sustainability and its economic and social success, and our 2015 conference theme. Today’s communities, tomorrow’s FCM’S Canada, is designed to stimulate meaningful dialogue about PRESIDENT municipalities and the future of our country. And this is an important time to engage the municipal sector and our elected officials in a national conversation about local jobs, housing affordability, public safety, rural and remote issues, and many other challenges that our hometowns face. This year’s program focuses on these priorities and this conference is likely the last opportunity before the federal election for municipal leaders to get together to keep our issues at the top of the national agenda. This event offers an unparalleled opportunity for you to expand your network, gain insights that will benefit your community. acquire new knowledge, and help shape municipal-federal priorities. I encourage you to take advantage of everything the Annual Conference has to offer, and I look forward to connecting with you over the next four days.
