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.
