I Brampton am writing to you on behalf of the Large Urban Mayors’ Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO). As the Brantford Mayors of the 26 cities with over 100,000 residents, LUMCO represents 67% of Ontario’s Burlington population. Cambridge Chatham – Kent We are pleased to see that many of the 2015 pre-budget consultation themes overlap with the Greater Sudbury issues affecting Ontario’s big cities, such as jobs and infrastructure. I would like to take this Guelph opportunity to outline the key priorities affecting Ontario’s Big Cities, so that they may be Hamilton considered as part of the budget consultation. Kingston Kitchener Gridlock & Transit/Transportation London Markham The Mayors of Ontario’s Big Cities are united on the need for new funding to invest in roads and Milton transit. Families and businesses agree: gridlock is one of the most important issues facing our Mississauga communities today. It’s costing us jobs, investment, and wasting our precious time stuck in traffic. Oakville Investment to date has not been enough, and the results are clear: overloaded subways and Oshawa busses, and highways jammed with traffic. Our businesses and residents need it fixed. We Ottawa believe it’s time for government leaders to commit to investing in breaking gridlock. It’s time to Richmond Hill take a serious look at raising new revenue or allocating existing funding to transportation St.

  • LUMCO News Release 05-27-2019
    LUMCO Ontario’s Big-City Mayors News Release Large Urban Mayors applaud Province’s deferral of retroactive funding cuts May 27, 2019 – Ontario’s big-city mayors are applauding Premier Doug Ford’s announcement that funding for public health, ambulance services, and daycare will be maintained this year, giving cities time to work with the Province on next steps. This responds to a key request of the Large Urban Mayors’ Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO), which met with Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark on Friday. LUMCO mayors said that while they understand the Province’s fiscal challenges and want to be a partner in addressing them, funding cuts cannot be accommodated after municipal budgets have already been passed. “On behalf of Ontario’s big-city mayors, I want to thank the Premier and Minister Clark for listening to our concerns and responding. I also want to thank LUMCO mayors across Ontario for being a unified voice on this issue,” said LUMCO Chair and Mayor of Guelph, Cam Guthrie. “We have said all along that we support the Province’s efforts to gets its budget deficit and debt under control, but we need more runway and more details. We look forward to working with the Province in the weeks and months ahead to continue to find efficiencies, without jeopardizing core municipal services.” At Friday’s meeting, LUMCO mayors told Minister Clark that absorbing millions of dollars worth of funding cuts after municipal budgets had already been approved would force cities to consider increasing taxes or fees, cutting services, raiding reserves, or deferring infrastructure and capital projects.

  • What Makes a Smart City Transcript
    Pamela Robinson: Hi, everyone. I'm Pamela Robinson. I'm an associate professor at Ryerson’s School of Urban and Regional Planning. I'm here to represent the simple human beings who are neither lawyers nor technology people in this effort to talk about smart cities. We're a bit crunched on time and we're the last five people between the booze and the drones, so we're going to try to keep this lively, engaging, and on time. I'm going to let the panelists briefly introduce themselves and get going, and our goal is to wrap up with just enough time to go to a quick bathroom break before the fun starts with the cocktails. Without further ado, here we go. We'll start with the Mayor of Barrie, Jeff Lehman. He's going to talk about smart cities. Either/or. Jeff Lehman: Okay. If this is working, I think I'll just, I'll stay here. I'm Jeff Lehman. I'm the mayor of the city of Barrie. For three years, I chaired Ontario's Big City Mayors' Caucus, which is the terrible brand of LUMCO; stands for Large Urban Mayors' Caucus of Ontario. If it sounds like a brand of gravy, it's because we have a terrible brand. But as an organization, we represent the 27 largest cities in Ontario, and we are very much considering many of the issues that are on the table today, and discussing the ways in which all of our municipalities, hopefully through collaboration, can start to deploy smart city technology to the benefit of our residents.

  • Ontario's Big City Mayors Call for Proof of Vaccination and Childcare
    Ontario’s Big City Mayors Call for Proof of Vaccination and Childcare Plan August 13, 2021 – Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM) are urging the province to establish a COVID-19 proof of vaccination system. Around the world, certified vaccination records are helping businesses and event spaces to safely open while encouraging more people to get vaccinated. This will help reduce a fourth wave in Ontario as well. Organizations as diverse as the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, CFIB, the Ontario Science table, colleges and universities, are all calling for such a system. “The faster we can enact a proof of vaccination system, the faster we can protect more Ontarians from the effects of the Delta variant,” said Jeff Lehman, Chair of OBCM and Mayor of Barrie. “This will support the safe reopening of our economy and protect our residents”. Childcare Plan OBCM also passed a motion calling on the provincial government to reach an agreement on the $10 per day federal childcare plan to support the economy and reduce household expenses for Ontarians. Ontario’s strong fiscal management throughout the pandemic creates the opportunity to implement this economy strengthening social program. The OBCM caucus urges the provincial government to join the seven other provinces who have reached agreements in providing quality affordable childcare to families. Childcare has been unaffordable and inaccessible to families across the province long before the pandemic began. The pandemic compounded this equity issue and resulted in more women exiting the workforce to care for their children. Ensuring Ontarians have access to affordable childcare will remove a financial burden from families and help kickstart economic recovery.
