What FCM has achieved for its members

The one-time doubling of the Canada Community-Building Fund in 2019 and 2021 as well as the renewal in 2024 and pushing for the next generation of infrastructure programs.
The announcement of the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund, with its additional $500 million over five years in the 2024 federal budget. This includes funding for urgent community infrastructure, including water and wastewater management.
The continuous advocacy for funds to help municipalities tackle the housing crisis and provide other critical services to those who need it most. The Housing Accelerator Fund, the Rapid Housing Initiative and the Universal Broadband Fund are just some of the programs that have stemmed from our continuous advocacy.
With the new Municipal Growth Framework, we are advancing a new way to empower local governments to make on-the-ground changes for a more resilient Canada. Through our work, Parliamentarians from all parties recognize that this Framework will allow municipalities to tackle Canadians’ challenges without increasing taxes.
A multitude of gains and new investments in public transit and rural transportation. This also includes building trusted national and international programs that build capacity on climate innovation, asset management, gender parity and more.
