Joanne Vanderheyden on National Leadership and Community Resilience

Successive governments have really relied on FCM's policy work, and I can say that our subject matter experts are recognized leaders in their fields, from budget consultants to committee hearings, and many are familiar faces on the hill as we speak.
Ever wondered how local leaders can make a national impact? In this episode of MuniCast, SUMA chats with Joanne Vanderheyden, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and a seasoned mayor with over a decade of experience. Vanderheyden shares her journey from leading a small municipality to advocating for communities across Canada. She dives into the unique challenges that municipal leaders face and offers practical advice on how to ensure local voices are heard at the national level.
One highlight is the Green Municipal Fund, an initiative that helps municipalities reduce climate emissions and build sustainable futures. Vanderheyden also emphasizes the importance of collaboration among municipalities, regardless of size or location, to tackle common issues and enhance community resilience. Whether you're a local leader or just curious about municipal governance, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.
