We followed up with the provincial government to get answers to questions our members raised during our webinar on October 25. We have new information to share.
AUMA members will be particularly interested in the proposed legal requirement that municipalities and school boards would need the approval of the provincial government before they can enter into agreements with the federal government.
Share your feedback about challenges and concerns your municipality has with the ICF process, and what resources or supports would be useful to help you complete ICFs. The deadline to complete this survey is December 31.
