Federal recommendations to address Canada’s financial crisis due to COVID-19 – a call for emergency operating funding for municipalities.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) reached out for help with an urgent request. As municipalities across the country worked to support frontline action and ready essential response services, the financial impact created a crisis. In response, FCM put out a call for the federal government to commit to emergency municipal operating funding—to keep essential services running strong, and to keep Canadians safe and supported.
