Lofty Goals, please keep it simple and start by clearing your sidewalks of Snow and Ice , would that not be nice ? All we need is more talk.

Talk is cheap.

I doubt that talk is that cheap in such a case.

The costs associated with travel, accommodation, meals and wages to cover the days at the conference are covered by the various levels of government with this type of conference.

Even consultants will be backcharging either directly if they are currently working on a project for a municipality or indirectly as company overhead for future work they will do for municipalities.

Here are the funders:
