Big City Mayors Want To Improve City Centres

Canada's largest cities are calling on the federal government to help revitalize downtown cores and strengthen economic growth across the country.

The Big City Mayors' Caucus, representing 23 of Canada's largest municipalities, has unveiled a series of priorities aimed at supporting vibrant downtowns, attracting investment, and addressing challenges that continue to impact communities from coast to coast.

The caucus says strong downtowns are critical to Canada's economic future, serving as hubs for business, culture, housing, and public life.

"Strong nations need strong downtowns," said BCMC Chair and London Mayor Josh Morgan. "They are where investment takes shape, culture thrives, and some of our most pressing challenges intersect."

Mayor Morgan says Canada's economic success depends on creating downtowns where housing, public safety, mobility, and infrastructure work together to build opportunity, support local businesses, and foster strong, connected communities.
