Good Roads Welcomes Municipal Infrastructure Leaders From Across Ontario at 130th Annual Conference
April 15, 2024, Oakville, ON – Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford is set to address more than 2,000 attendees at the 130th annual Good Roads Conference taking place at the Fairmont Royal York in downtown Toronto from April 21 – April 24, 2024.
The annual Good Roads Conference brings together different levels of government from Ontario over four days focusing on municipal transportation and infrastructure. Renowned urban planner Jeff Speck and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe will provide keynote addresses. There are more than 80 sessions covering a wide range of topics important to municipalities.
“Roads are the largest and most expensive infrastructure for local governments. Good roads have a direct correlation to economic vitality and enhanced quality of life for constituents” said Scott Butler, Executive Director, Good Roads. “This conference is the one time each year that leaders from the municipal sector, business and academia come together to chart a better way forward.”
“At a time when Ontario municipalities are facing many complex and unprecedented challenges – climate change, outdated fiscal arrangements, a rapidly evolving technological landscape – these discussions are increasingly important.” said Mr. Butler.
Premier Doug Ford is scheduled to take the stage on Tuesday, April 23 at 8:50 am, Marit Stiles at 2:30 pm on Monday, April 22, Bonnie Crombie at 2:50 pm on Monday, April 22, and Mike Schreiner at 10:05 am on Tuesday, April 23.

Good Roads is a municipal association concerned with the advancement of roads and other infrastructure in Ontario. Based in Oakville, Ontario, we have been devoted to the cause of better roads since 1894. Originally known as the Ontario Good Roads Association (and still using that name corporately), we have more than 430 member governments, including most of Ontario’s municipalities and a growing number of First Nations, as well as dozens of affiliated corporate members in the transportation and infrastructure sectors. Our purpose, in part, is to connect our members to each other, to other levels of government, and to relevant companies in the private sector. Our members look to us for training, knowledge, political advocacy, and answers to their most pressing problems. Good Roads is resolutely independent.
