What’s In Store for 2023

Over the past few years, local governments across Canada have undergone a rapid transformation in the way they deliver services to citizens. Urgent circumstances have necessitated quick adaptation, emphasizing the importance of accessibility and digitized processes. 

How should local governments respond to these pressures and position themselves for the future? The answer lies in being connected and resilient. Local governments need to leverage new skills, digital capabilities, and collaborative approaches to enhance internal teamwork, as well as engage and connect with their communities. They must also build resilience by utilizing data-driven decision-making to future-proof financial prosperity, address social outcomes, and effectively respond to climate change. 

Join us at the 2023 Local Government Roadshow as we delve into how municipalities across Canada have embraced disruptive forces and embarked on transformative journeys. This event will showcase key projects, best practices, and valuable insights to empower local government to embrace continuous change, foster a culture of innovation, and deliver exceptional citizen services. Together, let’s shape the future of local government and create a positive impact on our communities.
