. FCM President Geoff Stewart addresses #AMO2024. Says the funding model & growth framework for municipalities must be modernized. “It would unlock the full potential of our municipalities.” Additionally, municipalities need more support to address the housing crisis.

Municipalities are growing, and there’s a need to shift and change the system to not only grow capacity, but address resource & funding issues long-term. What worked ten years ago, is not going to work today, or 10 years from now, say panelists. #AMO2024

We were proud to take part in #AMO2024 this week where we exhibited at the conference tradeshow and represented our members’ interests in delegation meetings - read our full recap and post-event advocacy update here: ow.ly/QNf850T4vcE
