The first Municipal Leader of 2008 is devoted to the timeliest of municipal issues – infrastructure. Our special report opens by looking at the current state of municipal infrastructure in Canada and covers everything from bridge renewal to the impacts climate change have on municipal infrastructure. We’ve also included a comprehensive update of infrastructure programs available to municipalities.

The issue also touches on community building through arts and heritage; age-friendly communities; fire prevention; the importance of transparency for municipal councils; and introduces the Mayors and Reeves of the Capital Region. We also share an inspiring interview with a very special Official Supplier, who also happens to be a true AMM supporter and friend – Art Elias.
