With more than 1,775 members, FCM represents the interests of municipalities on policy and program matters that fall within federal jurisdiction. Members include Canada's largest cities, small urban and rural communities, and 18 provincial and territorial municipal associations.
Municipal leaders from all parts of Canada assemble annually to establish FCM policy on key issues in order to effectively communicate the impacts of federal decision-making on municipal governments and taxpayers.
