Municipal leaders will sit down with a handful of Provincial Ministers today in Marathon at the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association Conference.
President Anne Krassilowsky says a visit by Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne will be timely.
"We all know we have transportation issues in more way than one," says Krassilowsky, "looking at public transportation across the province and road conditions, to the challenges of obtaining funding."
Other speakers include Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle and Municipal Affairs Parliamentary Secretary Donna Cansfield.
Meanwhile, delegates are being asked to support a resolution that calls for improvements to FEDNOR.
The resolution suggests the economic development program become a crown agency with a budget of not less than $90 million a year.
It's also calling for grants to be processed within four months.
