Effective Engagement for Inclusive and Transparent Governance

In today’s evolving political environment, local and Indigenous governments must prioritize effective engagement to build strong relationships and foster trust with their communities and all orders of government. 
 
The 2025 Local Government Leadership Academy Forum will explore how to manage relationships with new provincial governments, communicate effectively regardless of political leadership, and engage inclusively with various stakeholders. 
 
Join us to explore how transparent, inclusive, and strategic engagement is the key to moving governance forward and ensuring the trust and confidence of the public.
