Canada has three of the world's top most liveable cities including Vancouver (ranked 5th), Calgary (tied 7th with Geneva) and Toronto (ranked 9th). The reason in part is that each has perfect #healthcare and #education scores. https://t.co/m4cjlQ28gN via @bbc_travel

My impression is #FCM2023AC was a very successful conference. Congratulations @carolesaab and your team for all your great work!

[Federation of Canadian Municipalities @FCM_online]

CEO @CaroleSaab’s closing remarks to delegates on the final day of #FCM2023AC struck an optimistic and ambitious chord for the year ahead while paying tribute to the teams and individuals who have been integral to the progress made by FCM in the past 12 months.

“I’ve had so many inspirational conversations with members this week and you have already made progress toward disrupting the status quo in these past few days.

We have had senior federal leaders join us and you have boldly demanded that they join us in building a better way of working and delivering for Canadians through empowering municipalities. And if I’ve learned anything in my 13 years with FCM, it’s that you do not get in the way of a local leader on a mission.

Together, we’re a strong, capable, and agile team, and we’re prepared for this next chapter as we ramp up our engagement and continue to advocate strongly for Canadian communities.”
