Update from KICLEI: Moving Forward Together

Dear Canadian Localists,

This update highlights current work at KICLEI as we focus on reasserting a local agenda over the global agenda through civic engagement with elected representatives, with just five years remaining until 2030.

Reports

The work on national reports is ongoing, and these will serve as the foundation for tools and resources, empowering local efforts across the country. The reports are available on the KICLEI Substack.

Monthly Zooms

Monthly Zoom meetings will be hosted to discuss how Canada arrived at this point and to explore the steps forward. These sessions aim to support teams across Canada in navigating KICLEI strategy as a unified force. The first meeting is scheduled for September 30, 2024, at 7:00 PM EST. Please register in advance.
