FCM’s Defence Task Force met with General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff of the Canadian Armed Forces, yesterday. As the Canadian Armed Forces embarks on a large-scale transformation, local governments are ready to build the defence-enabling infrastructure needed for national success. Strong local-federal partnership is key.

Our thanks to General Carignan for this informative conversation.

Today’s announcement in Winnipeg is a powerful example of how sustainable affordable housing can change lives. We’re proud to see the results of strong collaboration between governments and local partners.

Through the Green Municipal Fund, FCM is proud to support this project under our Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative — helping ensure these homes are not only safe and accessible, but also energy-efficient and built for long-term resilience.

Municipalities are on the front lines of Canada’s homelessness crisis and they know what is needed on the ground—but they cannot solve the crisis alone.

Mayor Mayor Michelle Boileau, Chair of FCM’s Standing Committee on Social Economic Development, reiterated FCM’s call on the federal government to renew Reaching Home and make it a permanent and expanded pillar of Canada's homelessness response.

Last week, Bridgewater Mayor David Mitchell joined the G7 Urban7 group—a formal engagement group that brings together local and regional governments to provide collective input into the G7 process—in Nancy, France.

He delivered a clear message: on climate, economic resilience, infrastructure adaptation, trade diversification and more, local leaders in Canada and around the world are leading the way.

They are necessary and strategic partners of the G7 and their work.

Our thanks to Mayor Mitchell for representing FCM and Canadian municipalities in Nancy, and for delivering insights from the trip at our climate competitiveness panel upon his arrival at .
