Motion — Big City Mayors
• Whereas membership into Ontario's Big City Mayors (OBCM) requires a
municipality to have a population of 100,000 or more, and
• Whereas according to Statistics Canada, Niagara Falls now has a population of
111,793
Therefore, be it resolved that City Council share a formal request to OBCM that the City
of Niagara Falls be included as a member of OBCM allowing for opportunities like:
• Consulting and liaising with other cities in Canada that have a presence on the
global stage like Niagara Falls
• Creating value for residents through learning, collaborating and sharing ideas
with like-sized communities
• Implementing best practices common in larger cities, including safety and
security and strategic planning
• Being included in conversations where tourism, international relations, safety and
security, economic development and trade are a priority
.AND The Seal of the Corporation to hereto affixed. Carried Unanimously
