At the AMO 2024 conference, Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner emphasized the growing challenges facing the province, including underfunded healthcare, mental health services, and affordable housing. He criticized the provincial government’s failures that have forced municipalities to shoulder the burden of these issues. Schreiner proposed a collaborative ‘New Deal for Cities and Towns’ aimed at creating a fair and sustainable Ontario, prioritizing the needs of everyday citizens over the interests of the wealthy. He encouraged local leaders to unite in the pursuit of a better future for all Ontarians.
