The prime objective of the Mission is to learn from officials in the public and private sectors of the host communities how policies, programs and technologies have been used to create more sustainable communities. The Mission provides Canadian municipalities with a valuable learning experience that demonstrates, first-hand, how the concept of sustainability supports sustainable community development and generates economic and environmental benefits locally and nationally. The Mission is a key program offered through FCM’s Green Municipal Fund. It aims to inform and inspire leaders who are in positions to replicate these leading examples of sustainable community development. FCM has led municipal delegations to Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Alberta and British Columbia.
