Cooperation, Coordination, and Competition: The Mechanics of Formalizing Inter-Municipal Agreements in Canada
May 20, 2014 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Municipalities in Canada partner in the delivery of many services, such as emergency services, water delivery, and sanitation. Yet, our understanding of why and how Canadian municipalities enter into these agreements is not well formed. This talk examined the policy and fiscal aspects of inter-local cooperation agreements in six Canadian metropolitan areas—Toronto, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Calgary.
