AMO Pre-Budget Submission 2025 On behalf of its members, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is continuing to advance its advocacy on the urgent, province-wide need for a comprehensive review of provincial- municipal fiscal arrangements. [...] For almost a year, municipalities across the province have been calling on the provincial government to sit down with municipalities and collaboratively engage on a Social and Economic Prosperity Review. [...] Responsibility for funding community housing should be uploaded to the province and provincial funding for health services, like public health and long-term care, should be sufficient to meet legislative requirements and standards for quality of care so municipalities don’t have to step in to fill the gaps. [...] In early January, AMO along with key partners, will be releasing the results of an ambitious research project on the scope and scale of homelessness across Ontario, and the provincial investments needed to truly address it. [...] A communications toolkit (e.g., social media, key messages, template press releases) early in the new year that will provide members with more support in bringing a united message to the provincial government on the need for municipal fiscal sustainability to enhance quality of life for all Ontarians.
