The Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference is fully underway in Ottawa and members of North Bay city council are there.
Mayor Al McDonald has a number of meetings scheduled with various ministers including the Infrastructure minister.
That meeting is all about convincing the ministry to giver North Bay sustainable funding.
McDonald says council has a 10-year asset management plan and knowing how much money the city can expect each year makes it easier for the city to plan on things like engineering studies and environmental assessments.
