What is LAS?

Innovative Programs and Services for Ontario's Municipalities

Local Authority Services (LAS) is a preferred provider of innovative and creative programs for Ontario municipalities and the broader public sector. At LAS we are proactive leaders, focused on being responsive to sector priorities and collaborating with municipalities to understand and deliver what they need.  LAS helps communities work better.

LAS was created in 1992 by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). LAS is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under the laws of Canada and is mandated to work with Ontario municipalities, as well as organizations from the broader public sector, to help realize lower costs, higher revenues, and enhanced staff capacity, through co-operative procurement efforts and innovative training, programs, and services.

Revenues generated from LAS services and events cover all corporate operating costs and also help LAS to develop new services and offerings that help Ontario municipalities work better.

• Administrative (Automated Speed Enforcement, Closed Meeting Investigator, Sewer and Water Line Warranty)
