OMAA Partnerships
It takes a Village....
to support Ontario CAOs and Aspiring CAOs! OMAA is proud to acknowledge partnerships with the following:
Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)
AMO works to make municipal governments stronger and more effective. AMO supports and enhances strong and effective municipal government in Ontario. It promotes the value of the municipal level of government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada's political system.
Of particular importance is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between AMO and the Province. The MOU provides the opportunity for municipal input and reaction to provincial policy ideas (pre-consultation) so that they are fully informed as part of any provincial policy making process.
OMAA and AMO work collaboratively on advocacy, annual student bursary, workforce development, and the Mayor-CAO Webinar series.
