North Bay Mayor Al McDonald will join more than 1,600 delegates at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario's 2012 AMO Conference in Ottawa from Aug. 19 to 22.
He is focusing on sessions related to the ONTC, global adjustment fund, the infrastructure stimulus program, Cassellholme funding, and Lake Nipissing.
For more than 100 years, Ontario’s largest municipal conference has united municipal, provincial and federal officials to work collectively to overcome municipal challenges and plan for the future.
Premier Dalton McGuinty and the leaders of both opposition parties are featured speakers and as many as 15 federal and provincial ministers will participate in the conference.
This year’s program features close to 50 plenary sessions and workshops, and more than 75 speakers, reflecting the broad scope of municipal responsibilities. Priority topics include leadership, municipal law, infrastructure, energy and conservation, public sector pensions, policing costs, accessibility, social housing, planning, water and wastewater treatment, waste diversion and biodiversity.
