FCM is a national-focused municipal association with 2,100 member municipalities across Canada, representing 92 per cent of all Canadians. The organization engages with the Federal Government on behalf of its members to advance the needs and priorities of municipalities in federal policies and programs.
FCM will be releasing more information on its advocacy and communications strategies based on the outcome of the April 28 Federal Election.
