The Ontario Municipal Management Institute
About Us
History
The Ontario Municipal Management Institute is a non-profit
corporation established by Ontario’s local government
associations with the support of the Government of Ontario, to
facilitate and promote management development
programs for local government personnel. In May 1988, the
enactment of Private Member’s Bill 27 changed the Ontario
Municipal Management Development Board (OMMDB) to the
Ontario Municipal Management Institute (OMMI). More impor-
tantly, the Bill accorded legal status to the Certified Municipal
Manager (CMM) designation awarded by the
Institute. The Institute is recognized by the Federal
Government as an educational institution under section
60(f)(iv) of the Income Tax Act.
Objectives
● Provide recognition and career development guidance to local government employees through
the CMM program.
● Provide local government focused, management-oriented training seminars
● Promote effective relations with educational institutions
● Develop publications on local government management topics
● Provide information on training and educational opportunities in local government
management

Who We Are
Over 150 local governments participate in training and accreditation
programs at a corporate level, including Cities, Regions, Towns,
Conservation Authorities, DSSABs, Health Units, Police Services,
and Municipalities. Over 3,000 local government employees have
achieved one of the four levels of the CMM. More than 700 of our
members also have profession-specific enhancements from our Ac-
creditation Partner Associations, complementing their CMM
designation. Our membership is representative of all levels of staff,
from front-line to senior managers, spanning over thirty diverse
professions in the public sector.
