CAMA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS - THE 2000'S

CAMA was founded in 1971 and emerged from the participation of senior municipal managers attending the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Annual Conference. Over the past five decades, CAMA has grown to an Association of over 650 senior municipal leaders across Canada dedicated to achieving excellence in local government and also establishing a much needed network nationally. 

2021 marks the golden year of our Association.

BUILDING A MODERN DAY CAMA

2000 - 2004

Y2K. A new millennium.

The decade that catapulted us into the 21^st century was a big one for the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators. It was one with a renewed sense of purpose and a desire to build a stronger more resilient organization. There were so many changes in fact, that we decided to feature this part of CAMA’s history in two parts – 2000 to 2004, and 2005 to 2009.

If you aren’t already familiar with this chapter in our story, it was a pivotal part in the association’s history. The 2000s saw the transformation of the organization into what it is today; a modern, responsive, and member-driven network, comprised of the best local government leaders in the country.
