Addressing #FCM2022AC, CEO @CaroleSaab reflected on the big gains for #CDNmuni in #Budget2022, emphasizing the need for a modernized intergovernmental relationship: "We get our best outcomes when the federal govt – and yes, the provinces, too – engage with us early and often."

Learned at the Local Solutions in the Face of Climate Change workshop that public engagement is happening until July to develop Canada's first National Adaptation Strategy - check it out here: letstalkadaptation.ca #FCM2022AC

Solving our housing crisis won’t be easy - it’ll take collaboration, creativity & determination from all levels of govt. Our Mayors, local leaders & FCM are committed to working with our federal government to deliver solutions for all. #CdnPoli #CdnMuni #FCM2022AC
