For the children and youth of Ontario, it is a new way to learn about local government.

Participating schools and municipalities join together to introduce local government through fun learning activities.

 Some of the activities include:                                           

• face-to-face meetings with community leaders 
• mock municipal referendums
• observing council in session
• Mayor For A Day
• tours of municipalities
• as well as many school and classroom centred activities.

The Province, the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario are partners in Local Government Week.

More information about Local Government Week is available at the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario website.
