Proclamation for Local Government Week

Whereas the municipal level of government performs functions that significantly impact the day-to-day life of citizens throughout the world; and

Whereas the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO), the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) acknowledge and celebrate the significant role that municipal governments play in helping to define the character, priorities, physical make up and quality of life of communities across Ontario; and

Whereas the third full week in October in each year is celebrated as Local Government Week across the Province of Ontario; and

Whereas AMCTO has noted this year, Local Government Week is taking place from October 19 to 25, 2025, with the goal of increasing public and youth awareness and understanding of the amazing opportunities that exist within the sector, the importance of local government and how to get involved; and

THEREFORE, I, Mayor Mike Burkett, do hereby proclaim the week of October 19 to 25, 2025 as Local Government Week in the Township of Severn, and encourage all residents to learn more about municipal government and how they can get involved.
