Regional Meetings

MNL is thrilled to announce the return of in-person regional meetings after a pandemic-induced hiatus. These meetings are an opportunity to share information with others in your region, while also getting updates on matters of interest to your municipality.

Each meeting includes a roundtable session to discuss regional issues recommended by attendees.

We look forward to seeing you in your region. Please note, meeting sessions in each region are scheduled for Friday afternoon and a full day on Saturday.

Regional meetings are eligible for the Municipal Training Financial Assistance program offered through Municipal and Provincial Affairs. Download the funding application form here.

Space is limited. Register soon!
