Advocacy

AMO’s advocacy focuses on ensuring that provincial policies and programs respect municipal authority. AMO develops a variety of advocacy positions on all matters that impact Ontario’s municipalities. These positions are in the form of backgrounders, policy updates, reports and submissions and more to inform our membership of current issues affecting the municipal sector.
