CAMA - THE LAST TEN YEARS
2010 - 2020
The 2010s were BIG years. Ongoing advancements in technology and social networking saw the launch of the first iPad in 2010, the same year Instagram was introduced, and Netflix came to Canada. We also saw the rise of social issues such as opioid use, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo movement, and the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final 6-volume Report, as well as the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Vancouver hosted the Olympics, wildfires swept through Fort McMurray, and homelessness grew in cities and towns across this country. In 2017, Canada celebrated its 150th birthday with over 600 projects engaging millions of Canadians. It was a both a joyous and tumultuous decade for communities, with local government leaders stepping up to guide through triumph and tragedy.
And so too over the decade, CAMA has become a stronger, more resilient organization; building membership, growing partnerships, and creating an annual networking event that is second to none. Still not without some challenges, the association has built itself of exemplary leadership at both the board and staff levels and has developed high quality programs and products that are enhancing and effecting change on local government administration across the country.
CAMA has consistently adopted improvements in technology and communication to reach its network and has built a brand that is renowned not only in Canada, but with affiliates and partners around the world. CAMA is known for the value it brings to the profession of municipal administration through networking, recognition, resources, and its focus on members through a very personal approach to communication and relationship building.
