The CPWA Board of Directors concluded a successful annual visit to Ottawa on June 7–9 for a board meeting and meetings with government officials. This year included meetings with:

  • Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
  • Transportation Association of Canada.
  • Engineers Canada.
  • Public Safety Canada on the Public Broadband Safety Network.
  • Infrastructure Canada on climate resilient infrastructure and a range of funding programs.
  • MP Chad Collins and MP Bonita Zarrillo on CPWA policy priorities.

The engagement is a useful step in information sharing as the CPWA readies to give input for the next round of federal budget consultations, which are due to begin soon.
