Part of what keeps me sane with all of the toxicity is knowing that it’s the same ever. If I didn’t have my Mayor support group I don’t know what I’d do.
As a mayor, you’ll experience things that really come out of nowhere. I’ve had a bag of dead flies mailed to me. Graffiti about me. Lots of memes made about me. Yet I think this one here is the most epic surprise finds ever!
Being mayor is lots of things.
But the two most important are:
1. Take the issues seriously.
2. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Congratulations to the 2026-28 AMO Board of Directors and President!
We thank Robin Jones for her strong leadership over the past term as AMO President on key advocacy issues ranging from housing and homelessness to infrastructure funding, economic uncertainty, and local governance.
A new chapter begins as we welcome Ottawa City Councillor Riley Brockington as incoming AMO President. He shared his vision for the coming term with delegates at #AMO2026, and with the support of the new board, will continue to bring the collective voice of Ontario's municipalities to decision-making tables to move our communities forward.

Great to meet Mayor @LynnDollin and her team from the @townofinnisfil this afternoon at #AMO2026, to discuss strengthening electricity transmission capacity to support the community’s rapid growth.
With major new housing, health care, and commercial and industrial investments planned across the region, we discussed the importance of expanding grid capacity and strengthening reliability to help unlock billions of dollars in new investment, and thousands of new homes and jobs.
We’ll continue working with Innisfil and our energy partners across the province to ensure the electricity infrastructure is in place to power growth, attract investment, and build stronger communities.
Announcing Alcona Elementary School, one of Ontario’s 35 new and expanded schools across the province!
This $29.9M investment in #BarrieInnisfil future will deliver 619 new student spaces to address community growth.

In communities across Ontario, municipal investment in arenas, outdoor rinks and spaces, and community facilities form the foundation for greatness.
As we celebrate Canadian athletes this year, we also recognise communities behind them.

We're entering third period, Innisfil! 🚨 Kraft Hockeyville's rally period ends March 1.
Let's keep our sticks on the ice and do one final push for Stroud Arena's nomination. 🏒 Go to https://t.co/rs0qy8kx4N to tell @hockeyville what the arena means to you.
Join the 60 municipalities that have already passed a resolution opposing OMERS governance changes.
Changes that mean that municipalities will have less of a voice in the pension plan that they pay for.
We need your voice. Pass a Council resolution and send a letter to the Ministers of Municipal Affairs & Housing and Finance, and raise this issue with your local MPP.
AMO has collected resources to help you take action here: https://t.co/S0lFCCFKuv

AMO is launching its Leading with Respect Handguides that provide practical, accessible resources for councils and staff to navigate conflict and build a culture of civility in their workplaces.
This work, through the Healthy Democracy Project and Workforce Development Project, is grounded in a vision of a municipal sector where respectful conduct allows councils to debate policy rather than personalities or political ideologies, make better decisions, and focus on building communities where people can thrive.
