TORONTO — Premier Doug Ford spoke at this year’s Association of Municipalities Ontario conference this morning.
The event is being held entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and will feature discussions and workshops about how municipalities can begin to recover from the outbreak’s economic ravages.
Also today, 10 cabinet ministers will participate in a forum on “supporting community well-being.”
They include Health Minister Christine Elliott and Education Minister Stephen Lecce.
The AMO has at times clashed with the provincial government during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying last month that emergency funds haven’t flowed to municipalities quickly enough.
They pointed the finger at “federal-provincial wrangling about how to share the costs.”
