April 29 2025 – The Mayors and Regional Chairs of Ontario (MARCO) congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney and his party on their successful election. “We look forward to working with you to strengthen and protect Canada by building the communities we love,” said MARCO Chair Karen Redman.
MARCO also thanks Pierre Poilievre, Jagmeet Singh, and every candidate for their love of Canada and service to democracy.
“Our municipalities are the engines of economic prosperity that maintain the vital infrastructure and essential services that underpin our country—enabling trade, powering industry, and connecting people,” said Chair Redman. “Strengthening Canada starts from the ground up, and our municipalities stand ready at the local level to help the federal government make it happen.”
