Today, FCM’s Rural Forum met with Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development (Gudie Hutchings), to share our rural priorities for federal Budget 2022 and to further our partnership. We discussed rural communities’ needs for post-pandemic economic recovery.

Speaking to FCM’s Board of Directors, @CaroleSaab congratulated municipal leaders for the advocacy that secured $750 million dollars for transit operating costs from the federal govt. Even in difficult times, FCM members are delivering for communities.
