The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has been the national voice of municipal government since 1901.

FCM is dedicated to improving the quality of life in all communities by promoting strong, effective, and accountable municipal government.

FCM aspires to be an organization that is deeply respectful, collaborative, empowering and transparent in our work.

We have a commitment and passion for strengthening Canada by achieving results for our communities, our cities, and our workplace, and by sharing our knowledge and experience on the world stage, so that others may improve the quality of life in their communities.

The cornerstone FCM Program is the Green Municipal Fund (GMF), a $1 billion permanent endowment from the Government of Canada.

GMF helps local governments switch to sustainable practices faster.

Our unique mix of funding, resources and training gives municipalities the tools they need to build resiliency — and create better lives for Canadians.

As a leading catalyst for innovation, GMF offers funding (loans and grants) and knowledge for sustainable municipal initiatives designed to support communities to improve air, water, soil quality, and to protect the climate.

Through GMF, municipalities have built better transportation assets; constructed efficient and resilient buildings; diverted waste from landfill; made previously unusable land available for development; and improved soil and water quality.

You can find out more about how we're helping municipalities in this short video or by taking a read of GMF's Annual Report.
