KICLEI Canada 2025 Strategic Plan
Looking Ahead to 2025

Withdraw from the FCM - Made Easy
Municipalities across Canada have the option to withdraw from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) at any time, allowing them to refocus on local priorities and reinvest membership fees into community-driven initiatives. The recent decision by the County of Wheatland and Stettler No. 6 to not renew their membership for 2025 is a key example of this growing movement.
The FCM currently has over 2,000 municipal members. Check if your municipality is still enrolled here:
