The annual conference is a chance for municipal officials to work together to address shared challenges, to learn, and to create new opportunities. In addition to the conference program, municipal staff and officials will take part in over 300 delegation meetings with provincial and federal ministries. Provincial ministers will also take questions from municipal elected officials in an open forum.
Key session topics include cannabis legalization, trade, indigenous relations, climate change and disaster preparedness, waste diversion, ambulance dispatch, emerging technologies and Smart Cities, the 2018 municipal election, rural economic development, and much more.
Program details are available online.
All media are required to register in Room 201 at the Shaw Centre. Attending media are encouraged to book accommodation as soon as possible, if needed. Reporters can access key conference information and build an itinerary through the AMO mobile app.
