Atlantic Mayors Congress
The Atlantic Mayors Congress was formed in November of 2001. Twenty mayors from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador meet twice a year to discuss common issues. Through this forum, mayors develop a unified voice from an Atlantic Canada perspective in bringing forward issues to the Federal and Provincial Governments.
Some of the goals of the Congress include:
- sharing information on common issues facing municipalities in Atlantic Canada;
- seeking economic benefits through shared resources;
- forging policy agreements which will influence decisions by the Federal and Provincial governments;
- exploring means of mutual support for delivery of municipal services;
- pursuing economic development within a regional perspective;
- promoting regional tourism.
