Chatham Councillor Elected to Key FCM Role
In a recent announcement, it was revealed that Chatham Councillor, Michael Bondy, has been elected to a key role within the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This prestigious position will see Bondy serve as the Chair of the FCM’s Rural Forum, representing the voices and interests of rural communities across Canada.
Bondy’s election to this role is a testament to his dedication and hard work within the municipal sector. With over 20 years of experience as a councillor, Bondy has a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by rural communities. He has also been a strong advocate for rural issues, both at the local and national level.
In his new role as Chair of the Rural Forum, Bondy will play a crucial role in shaping policies and initiatives that will benefit rural communities across the country. This includes advocating for increased funding and resources for rural infrastructure, economic development, and social services.
Bondy’s election also highlights the important role that smaller communities play in the overall landscape of Canada. With over 80% of the country’s landmass being classified as rural, it is essential that these communities have a strong voice and representation at the national level.
In a statement, Bondy expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve as Chair of the FCM’s Rural Forum. He also emphasized the importance of collaboration and working together to address the unique challenges faced by rural communities.
The FCM is the national voice of municipal governments in Canada, representing over 2,000 communities of all sizes. Its mission is to advocate for strong and effective municipal government, and to promote sustainable and livable communities across the country.
With Bondy’s election to this key role, Chatham and the surrounding rural communities can be assured that their voices will be heard and their interests will be represented at the national level. This is a significant achievement for both Bondy and the community he serves, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have in his new role.
