Effective immediately & until further notice, the flags at all City of Ottawa facilities have been lowered to half-mast in honour of the victims of the tragedy at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright on October 17, 2026.
The City expresses its solidarity with the Wainwright community.
Heartbreaking news emerging from Wainwright tonight. My thoughts are with the Canadian Armed Forces, their families, and the surrounding communities affected by this tragedy.
My deepest gratitude to the first responders, municipal emergency crews and everyone working tirelessly through this incredibly difficult night. Our communities stand with you.
@FCM_online
A serious incident creating a major fire has occurred at CFB Wainwright, in Alberta.
Our thoughts are with all the brave women and men affected.
We are working closely with the Government of Alberta and local authorities. Premier Smith and I are in close contact as are our relevant ministers and officials.

Today’s federal announcement marks an important investment in helping Canadians lower their home energy bills and reduce emissions.
Reaching the ambition of retrofitting one million homes will mean bringing together a range of complementary solutions. Canadians also need access to affordable financing and solutions that support comprehensive home retrofits, including improvements to energy efficiency and climate resilience.
There is a significant opportunity to build on today’s measures with complementary approaches that help more households undertake deeper retrofits, mobilize additional investment and deliver lasting savings. Municipalities have an important role to play in making those solutions work for communities across Canada.
FCM looks forward to working with the federal government to turn this ambition into lasting, measurable results.

Canada is facing a nation-defining moment. Decisions being made today about sovereignty, economic strength and ambitious goals will shape our country for years to come.
Federal investments and major projects will land in communities across the country. Making those investments successful means ensuring communities are ready for the growth that comes with them.

Canada’s AI future won’t be built by governments or companies alone. It will be built in partnership with communities across the country.
Today, I met with Federation of Canadian Municipalities President Tim Tierney and municipal leaders from across Canada to discuss responsible AI data centre development and the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Because when communities help shape growth, everyone benefits. That's how we build a stronger economy, stronger communities, and a stronger Canada.
🇨🇦
L’avenir de l’IA au Canada ne se bâtira pas uniquement grâce aux gouvernements ou aux entreprises. Il se bâtira en partenariat avec les collectivités partout au pays.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai rencontré le président de la Fédération canadienne des municipalités, Tim Tierney, ainsi que des élus municipaux de partout au Canada afin de discuter du développement responsable des centres de données et de la prochaine génération d’infrastructures numériques.
Car lorsque les collectivités contribuent à façonner la croissance, tout le monde y gagne. C’est ainsi que nous bâtissons une économie plus forte, des collectivités plus fortes et un Canada plus fort.

A stronger, more sovereign Canada must be built on communities that are equipped to deliver with the housing stability and infrastructure capacity needed to support national ambition.
Our thanks to Minister for Housing and Infrastructure, @gregorrobertson, for meeting with municipal leaders today in Ottawa.
All orders of government must work together.

Municipal leaders are in Ottawa this week to meet with federal decision-makers ahead of Budget 2026.
Municipalities are essential delivery partners that turn national ambition into tangible results. Canada is facing a consequential moment—and to meet it, we need sustained leadership, strong investments and collaboration between all orders of government.
Stay tuned for updates.

Montreal's raspy-voiced rock and blues firebrand Sass Jordan has died at 63. From 'Racine' to 'Rebel Moon Blues,' she gave Canadian rock a soulful roar and taught a young Taylor Hawkins how to be in a band. zurl.co/Mx4Pe
Happy Independence Day to Nigeria and to Ottawa’s Nigerian community! 🇳🇬
I was honoured to join members of the Nigerian High Commission, the diplomatic community and leaders from Ottawa’s Nigerian community today as we celebrated 66 years of Nigerian independence.
Canada and Nigeria have shared diplomatic relations since 1962, but those ties are also felt right here in Ottawa through business, public service, education, arts, culture and, most importantly, community.
As Ottawa celebrates its 200th anniversary this year, it is a great opportunity to recognize the many communities that have helped shape our city and continue to be part of its future.
Congratulations on 66 years of independence, and thank you to Ottawa’s Nigerian community for everything you bring to our city.
Happy Independence Day! 🇳🇬

Bonne fête de l’Indépendance au Nigéria et à la communauté nigériane d’Ottawa! 🇳🇬
J’ai eu l’honneur de me joindre aujourd’hui aux membres du Haut Commissariat du Nigéria, à la communauté diplomatique ainsi qu’aux leaders de la communauté nigériane d’Ottawa pour souligner les 66 ans d’indépendance du Nigéria.
Le Canada et le Nigéria entretiennent des relations diplomatiques depuis 1962, et ces liens se font aussi sentir ici même à Ottawa, dans les affaires, la fonction publique, l’éducation, les arts, la culture et, surtout, au sein de notre communauté.
Alors qu’Ottawa célèbre son 200e anniversaire cette année, c’est aussi l’occasion de reconnaître toutes les communautés qui ont contribué à façonner notre ville et qui continuent de participer à son avenir.
Félicitations pour ces 66 années d’indépendance, et merci à la communauté nigériane d’Ottawa pour tout ce qu’elle apporte à notre ville.
Bonne fête de l’Indépendance! 🇳🇬

Today in London, FCM President @TimTierney joined @CityofLdnOnt Mayor and Chair of FCM’s Big City Mayors’ Caucus, @JoshMorganLDN, Gatineau Mayor Maude Marquis-Bissonnette and Professor Romel Mostafa, Director of the Lawrence National Centre at the @iveybusiness to unveil the first national benchmark of how Canadian communities are experiencing trade-related pressures and responding on the ground.
As governments look to strengthen Canada's economic resilience and competitiveness, investing in local infrastructure will help communities support businesses, attract investment and position Canada for long-term growth.
This new research underscores the importance of investing in communities where growth, trade and opportunity happen.

For 26 years, @FCM_online's @GreenMuniFund has helped communities turn ambitious ideas into tangible results.
As @berryonline, Mayor of Kitchener and Chair of the Green Municipal Fund Council, noted: “Without the existence of GMF, many communities wouldn't have access to the expertise, the dollars or, quite frankly, the resources needed to take on some of these projects.”
Guided by leaders from across the municipal, federal and private sector, the GMF Council helps ensure investments from the Government of Canada continue to deliver local action with national impact—supporting projects that build a more sustainable, competitive and resilient Canada.
