On behalf of local leaders across the country we extend our gratitude to those who serve, have served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for peace and freedom. Your dedication is forever remembered. #LestWeForget

Municipal infrastructure is essential to Canada’s productivity & trade. New & reprofiled investments in #Budget2025 will help #CDNMuni move faster now, but a long-term plan to fund the infrastructure that makes national housing and growth goals achievable is still needed. More ⬇️

Merci à toutes celles et à tous ceux qui ont choisi de se présenter aux scrutins municipaux en Alberta et au Québec. Des félicitations bien sincères aux personnes élues! #muniCAN #polqc #polican 1/2

Thank you to everyone who stepped up for their communities in the recent municipal elections in Alberta and Quebec—and a heartfelt congrats to all local leaders elected! #CDNMuni #cdnpoli #qcpoli 1/2

“For communities already facing rising infrastructure costs, this adds pressure at a time when reliable, accessible transit is more important than ever.” – FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social 🗞️ bit.ly/4ooIowW

🔴 LIVE | FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social, 1st VP @timtierney.ca, 2nd VP Kathy Valentino, and Board of Directors member Michelle Boileau speak to media in Ottawa. Watch: youtube.com/live/YKEVtCY...

🗓️ 12PM TODAY | We’ll be LIVE for a press conference with FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social, 1st VP @timtierney.ca, 2nd VP Kathy Valentino, and Board of Directors member Michelle Boileau. Tune in at noon.

By reducing pressure on emergency responders and supporting vulnerable populations, we can help restore a sense of safety and resilience in our communities. More from FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social: thehub.ca/2025/10/27/a...

A proposal to create a city-owned, for-profit developer to build 4,000 market rentals has failed at Council. 🎙️ Councillor @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social explains her “no” vote and what she thinks the City should do next. pdst.fm/e/traffic.me...

The opposition threw amendment after amendment at ABC and there was ZERO effort to get to yes with a tiny exception that watered down one of them. ABC will cry foul about this but I heavily doubt their good faith - they weren't interested in finding out how this could pass.

“Bail reform is an important step [...] Local police are repeatedly arresting the same individuals, emergency services are stretched thin, and residents are feeling the impact.” - @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social 🗞️ bit.ly/46UuwEg

The mayor’s last-minute tax proposal offered no details and no clear plan for how city services would be affected. Vancouver deserves facts and transparency, not political theatre.

Two good things about @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social from what I have seen: 1. Works hard and listens to reason. 2. Fundamentally a decent and kind person. I wouldn't be very worried about corruption stuff if she were mayor and I think she'd give a lot of attention to homelessness/addiction.

Yes, I second this. @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social was one of the key votes on climate action (stopping the mayor from backtracking on fossil gas in buildings) and she made a principled stand on supportive housing. I think she’d be a great mayor.

Infrastructure might not be the trigger for the housing crisis, but it’s a major piece of the puzzle that can’t be ignored – and we can’t turn housing aspirations into reality without it.

Safer, healthier communities are within reach. #CDNMuni are ready to work together with the federal government to modernize Canada’s public safety system in a way that works for communities of all sizes.

On this Day of Truth and Reconciliation, the City of Vancouver recognizes the importance of this day and the work that still lies ahead. It is a somber day to reflect, and personally we will spend it in community, honouring the experiences of Indigenous peoples and committing to meaningful action.

Honoured to join funding announcement for Willow House in Vancouver. This net-zero Ronald McDonald House will double family support with 75 suites for care & healing. Proud that FCM’s Green Municipal Fund helped make this possible. Thanks to the Government of Canada & @rmhbc for the partnership.

Last week, FCM 3rd Vice-President Marc Doret joined FQM at their Annual Conference in Quebec City. FCM is working closely with our provincial partners like FQM to bring local priorities, including those of rural Quebec municipalities, into our national advocacy work.

Earlier today, FCM’s Big City Mayors’ Caucus connected with Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, @gregorrobertson.bsky.social, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, @turnbullwhitby.bsky.social.

Municipal leaders across British Columbia work hard to deliver for their communities on housing, climate resilience, public safety and more.

I really appreciate this, Tom. Staying grounded in integrity and compassion is how I strive to lead every day — I’ll continue to bring those values forward as best I can as I run for mayor.

Vancouver Coun. Rebecca Bligh has officially announced her mission to become the city’s next mayor, launching a new party and aiming to defeat her former ally and running mate, incumbent Mayor Ken Sim. Read more: vancouversun.com/news/vancouv...

This Mayor took matters into his own hands when he saw doctors leaving his community. Municipalities and their leaders can make all the difference - well done Mayor Kobayashi! www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Je pense encore aux personnes que j’ai rencontrées et aux conversations que j’ai eues au congrès annuel de la FCM de ce printemps. La @FCM et @Municipal World ont produit ensemble un magazine qui vous fera replonger dans la semaine. Ne manquez pas ça!

I’m still thinking about all the powerful conversations and impactful connections I made in Ottawa this spring at #FCM2025AC. @FCM and @Municipal World have partnered together to reflect on the incredible week in this special edition magazine. Check it out to relive AC!

Parliament returns on Monday, and it’s time to refocus on the work ahead. #CDNMuni are essential partners in national progress on priorities like housing, infrastructure and public safety. More from FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social ⬇️ www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0... @hilltimes.com

Thank you to Councillor @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social for meeting with me. I followed up on constituent concerns, including dangerous intersections & municipal casework. I look forward to continuing to work with our Vancouver Mayor & Councillors to make the Vancouver-Langara riding better for all.

As FCM President, I welcome PM Carney’s swift action on infrastructure. The Port of Churchill investment is a step toward stronger trade resilience, regional growth, and new opportunities for northern and Indigenous communities. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Je suis ravie de pouvoir échanger avec mes collègues de l’Ontario à la conférence de l’#AMO2025. La FCM est déterminée à travailler avec vous et le gouvernement fédéral pour trouver des solutions concrètes aux enjeux pressants auxquels font face les collectivités de la province.

Glad to have the chance to connect with municipal colleagues from across Ontario at #AMO2025. FCM is focused on working with both you and the federal government to come to pragmatic solutions to address pressing challenges faced by Ontario communities. #CDNMuni #cdnpoli #ONMuni

Canada’s social housing deficit is a crisis hiding in plain sight financialpost.com/real-estate/...

It was wonderful to attend a celebration of Argentina’s Independence Day Tuesday evening. We were joined by Consul General Ricardo Arredondo, his partner and members of the Argentinian and consular community here in Vancouver “¡Feliz Día de la Independencia!” 🇦🇷

Vancouver zoning story time: I-4 is an "industrial" district which spans a few blocks in Railtown. It's notable for being the sole district to allow+encourage "Creative Products Manufacturing", a Vancouver Planning term of art.

🚨Introducing my motion to unlock the creative + economic potential of Vancouver’s Railtown district! This unique area is home to makers, artists, and innovators - but it’s being held back by outdated zoning + land use barriers. council.vancouver.ca/20250709/doc...

Le Canada vit un moment charnière qui exige que tous les ordres de gouvernement collaborent dans un véritable partenariat. Je suis heureuse d’avoir pu parler auj. avec les ministres provinciaux et territoriaux responsables des collectivités. Mettons-nous au travail — ensemble.

Canada is at a generational moment that can only be met with all orders of govt working side by side in true partnership. Grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with ministers responsible for local government from across the country today. Let’s get to work—together.

Car free water street looks like a huge success @lisadominato.bsky.social @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social @ptfry.bsky.social

Always enjoy talking with @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social and getting her thoughts on #LocalGov today. But also, how the relationship between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and @mark-carney.bsky.social is continuing to grow. #municipalities #CDNmuni www.municipalworld.com/feature-stor...

Proud to support the reopening of Jericho Pier and the upcoming T100 Triathlon. These milestones highlight the Park Board’s commitment to active living, community spaces, and bringing world-class events to Vancouver’s beautiful parks, beaches, and waterfront. #ParkBoard

Councillors toured the Maritime Museum today, a wonderful destination that allows visitors to explore our maritime history, and the relationship of our Indigenous host nations and the waters that surround us. Go visit- you will not be disappointed! ⚓️

“Every commitment from the federal government is going to need a pathway through municipalities, so we are the order of government that needs to be at the table.” - FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social 🎧 www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #CDNMuni #cdnpoli

Visited both the Bloedel Conservatory and VanDusen Botanical Garden today. Following the approval of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Access Pass at last night's Park Board meeting, self-identified Indigenous individuals can now access the facilities free of charge. #reconciliation

From my office: the news release on my formal ratification as President of @fcm.ca #FCM2025AC #cdnpoli #cdnmuni

Happy Pride Month! Proud to celebrate with my LGBTQ2S+ family and communities. Together, we build a more inclusive, welcoming Vancouver where everyone can live authentically and safely. 🌈 #VanPride #vanpoli

Quelle belle semaine au congrès annuel de la FCM! Les élu(e)s municipaux sont en première ligne des grands enjeux nationaux. Ils font déjà avancer les choses, mais nous avons besoin d’une meilleure collaboration. #FCM2025CA

What a week at #FCM2025AC! Municipal leaders, like those gathered in Ottawa this week, are on the front lines of Canada’s most pressing priorities—and we’re already delivering results. But it’s clear that a more collaborative approach is needed.

C’est un honneur de poursuivre mon travail à titre de présidente de la FCM. Je remercie mes collègues pour leur confiance. #FCM2025CA

I am humbled and honoured to continue serving in the role of FCM President. Thank you to my FCM colleagues for putting your trust in me. #FCM2025AC
