The Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA) has released a new national resource designed to help residents better understand how their local municipalities operate and how decisions affecting their communities are made.
Your Local Government: A Resident’s Guide to Services, Roles & Good Governance provides clear, plain-language explanations of municipal governance, services, and decision-making processes across Canadian municipalities. The guide explains how local government functions, including the roles of Council and administration, how decisions are made, and how residents can effectively participate in their community.
