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. bbc.com/travel/article/20231… via @bbc_travel

Here is my story wrapping #FCM2023AC with the top issues being the need for a new fiscal framework, affordable housing and climate change. #localgov municipalworld.com/feature-s…)
At #FCM2023AC this is my report on the Big City Mayor Caucus seeking a new fiscal deal with the provinces and federal government., with @MikeSavageHFX @Val_Plante and @McKelvieTO municipalworld.com/feature-s…
At #FCM2023AC great to connect with @northernstorey Mayor of Fraser Lake who was a guest on our podcast talking about her efforts to increase public transit in her #BritishColumbia municipality.
My impression is #FCM2023AC was a very successful conference. Congratulations @carolesaab and your team for all your great work!
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.”
At #FCM2023AC Calgary Mayor @JyotiGondek at the President's Forum says Calgary is welcoming 62 new residents every day which will amount to 100,000 new residents by 2027. Calgary is responding with initiatives like converting empty office space to affordable housing #CDNmuni
