Youth perspective is essential for healthy democracies.

AMO will host a virtual information session on November 23rd from 5-6pm for those looking to learn more.

AMO welcomes new federal commitments, including $42 billion over 10 years for affordable housing and homelessness, $1.5 billion for community recreational facilities and ice rinks, and continued support for mental health, addictions and community care.

The investments are an important step forward and reflect priorities AMO has been advocating for. But delivering results on the ground will require strong partnerships across all orders of government.

In particular, provincial operating funding will be essential to making supportive housing investments work, while municipalities continue to face significant infrastructure needs that extend well beyond recreation.

AMO will continue working with federal and provincial partners to ensure these commitments translate into meaningful outcomes for Ontario communities.

A productive meeting this afternoon at Queen’s Park, where AMO’s Executive Committee met with Minister Flack to discuss several key issues and priorities facing Ontario’s municipal sector.

Thank you to the Minister for the opportunity to share perspectives and advance important conversations on behalf of municipalities across the province.
