Mount Pearl councillor Jim Locke has been elected as a Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) representative for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Locke was elected during at the FCM’s 2025 Annual Conference and Trade Show in Ottawa last month.
FCM members strive to shape national policy by advocating on behalf of municipal governments across the country.
Locke’s Mount Pearl council colleagues, several of whom also attended the conference, extended their congratulations and best wishes during last week’s public meeting.
Other local representatives include St. John’s Mayor Danny Breen, Paradise councillor Larry Vaters, and Amy Coady of Grand Falls-Windsor, who serves as FCM Vice-President at Large.
