Local Government Week: Celebrating Community Leadership and Civic Engagement
Local Government Week, recognized across Ontario each October, is an opportunity to highlight the important role that municipalities play in shaping our communities. From maintaining local roads and parks to providing essential services such as water, recreation, and public safety, local governments have the greatest direct impact on residents’ daily lives.
This week encourages citizens—especially students and youth—to learn about how local councils operate, how decisions are made, and how residents can participate in shaping their community’s future. It’s a chance to recognize the dedication of mayors, councillors, and municipal staff who work year-round to provide services and improve quality of life in Lucan Biddulph.
By understanding local government, residents can become more informed, engaged, and empowered to contribute ideas, volunteer, or even consider running for office in the future. Local Government Week is a reminder that strong communities depend on collaboration between citizens and their local leaders.
The Township of Lucan Biddulph is proud to celebrate Local Government Week and encourages everyone to learn more about how local government works—and the many ways you can get involved in making our community thrive.
