It's time to FALL BACK!
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight at 2:00 AM as daylight saving time ends.
It's also a great time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors to ensure your family's safety.

Tributes pour in after news that North Bay politician Mac Bain has died ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/…
Councillor Colin Best retweeted
On behalf of AMO, I extend my deepest condolences to Mac Bain’s family, friends and colleagues. Mac dedicated decades of his life to municipal government, serving the City of North Bay and advocating for municipalities across Northern Ontario and the province. Through his leadership at FONOM and his work with AMO, Mac was a solid voice for municipal interests and the communities they serve. He will be remembered for his dedication to public service and his lasting contributions to municipal government in Ontario.

Ontario’s property assessments haven’t been updated province-wide since 2016.
In a conversation with CBC, AMO's Executive Director Lindsay Jones discusses why it’s time to return to regular reassessments and why a clear plan, careful transition and public education will be essential.

Solving Ontario’s mental health, addictions & homelessness crisis requires a balance between compassion and accountability. We’re asking the Government of Ontario to introduce essential policy solutions:
✔️ Expand timely access to recovery and treatment programs
✔️ Create a dedicated ministry with appropriate funding
✔️ Conduct a review of the Mental Health Act and the Healthcare Consent Act
✔️ Expand addiction treatment and rehabilitation programming within correctional institutions
✔️ Declare a state of emergency to treat this as the crisis it is
