FCM welcomes the federal government’s Build Canada Homes initiative as strong leadership on the housing crisis. This announcement shows a clear commitment to working in partnership with municipalities to deliver practical, results-driven solutions that meet the urgent housing needs of Canadians.

In my role as UBCM President, I attended the Colorado-British Columbia Subnational Leaders Trade Roundtable, a closed-door discussion on trade and cross-border collaboration.

Great FCM panel featuring women from around the world talking about the importance of having the perspective of women on councils, boards and in other elected positions. We NEED more women in elected positions! @trishmandewo.bsky.social #strongwomen

It was my pleasure to attend and deliver my @ubcm.bsky.social President’s Address, as well as co-present the “Taking stock of the Trade War - Local Government Impacts” session at the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities (AVICC) in Nanaimo

Watch @Keith baldrey at 6pm and 11pm and spot my book behind him 🙏🏾.

Thank you, Keith.

Across the country, in communities large and small, municipal leaders are at the forefront of a national response to the current economic challenges.

The FCM Board is meeting in Dorval next week – which means Board members from across the country will bring books from their communities to donate to a public library or school in the area.

One my favourite FCM traditions, supported by @municipalworld. 1/2

I am honored to be one of the recipients for the King Charles III Coronation medal.

It was a pleasure attending the 2 day @ubcm.bsky.social Electoral Area Directors Forum in Richmond & delivering my President's speech.

Immense learnings from all the Directors roundtables and open mic. Kudos to UBCM staff and EA Chair Jerrylyn Kirk for a great Forum.

In my role as @ubcm.bsky.social President, together with other local government representatives from across Canada, we gathered in Toronto to reflect on Year 4 of the Partnerships for Municipal Innovation – Women in Local Leadership (PMI-WILL) project implemented by FCM & funded by Global Affairs
