This report was produced at the request of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM); however, it should not be inferred that the FCM endorses it in any way in all or in part. Many people from diverse constituencies (municipalities, businesses, governments, unions, associations, universities, semi-public or para-public organizations and others, both local and elsewhere) have contributed in a variety of ways to this project. We would mention in particular the assistance of Louis Carrier and Alain Borsi of INRS- Urbanisation, Culture et Société.
