Whereas the week of October 17-23, 2022 will be celebrated in Ontario as Local Government Week; and

Whereas the municipal level of government performs the functions that significantly impact the day to day life of citizens throughout the world; and

Whereas the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO), the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) acknowledge and celebrate the significant role that municipal governments play in helping to define the character, priorities, physical make up and quality of life of communities across Ontario; and

Whereas eligible electors across Ontario will be voting in the 2022 Municipal and School Board Election from October 14-24, 2022, which falls during Local Government Week; and

Whereas an election year gives us a great opportunity to talk with children about what local government provides; fairness and making decisions as a group; and

Whereas to promote education and awareness of the 2022 Municipal and School Board Election and Local Government Week , the Clerk’s Office will be sharing with the schools, a video published by CIVIX Student Vote Ontario, which showcases youth who provide their outlook on “Why Voting Matters”.
