Building the communities we want

Communities are the building blocks of our country, and the bedrock of our daily lives. They are where we live, work and raise families.

We are all better off when our cities and towns have healthy finances and strong public services. Municipalities are facing many financial, environmental and social challenges – but there are solutions.

As Canada’s community union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees is committed to working with municipal leaders on these solutions. Together we can build the communities we want, with quality public services we can depend on.

Fair taxes and stable municipal financing	Support clean, safe and public water services	Create clean, green cities
Build public infrastructure for the future	Protect the public services we depend on	Stop trade deals that limit local power
