The Local Government Leadership Academy’s annual forum brings together senior staff and elected officials from local governments and First Nations to explore innovative ways to collaborate and drive positive transformation.
The 2025 conference theme is Effective Engagement for Inclusive and Transparent Governance. Sessions will explore managing relationships with a new provincial government, communicating effectively, and engaging inclusively with various stakeholders.

- Emphasizing the importance of open communication, inclusivity, and collaboration to enhance public confidence and foster good governance at all levels
- Understanding the power of your personal brand online and leveraging social media for transparent, impactful public engagement
- Looking at engagement “up and down”—with senior orders of government, peers, and the communities you serve—to build strong, trusting relationships
