Colleges Ontario is proud to be bringing a college sector delegation to the 2025 Association of Municipalities Conference. As part of this delegation, colleges from across Ontario will be joining municipal leaders to discuss shared priorities for building strong, prosperous communities.
Ontario’s public colleges are the backbone of the province’s economy and the anchors of resilient communities. As trusted local institutions, colleges train the skilled workers who keep our communities thriving—from health care to housing, green energy to infrastructure.
Created by Ontario, for Ontario, our college system was established 60 years ago to respond directly to local needs. That mission continues today, as colleges partner with municipalities to deliver real-world solutions, support regional development and ensure opportunity is never out of reach—no matter where someone lives.
At AMO 2025, our sector-wide delegation will showcase how colleges collectively help to:
-
Address workforce shortages in health, construction and community services;
-
Fuel economic growth in rural and urban regions;
-
Support Ontario’s prosperity through job-ready graduates and innovation in training.
Ontario’s future depends on a strong, well-supported college system. By speaking with one voice at AMO 2025, the college sector is reinforcing its commitment to working with municipal partners to strengthen our communities, our workforce and our province.
