The timing, venue and purpose of a State of the City Address can vary significantly depending on local history and practice.
Either way, the Address is usually used to outline the mayor's legislative proposals and policy directions for the upcoming year.
Since Canadian provincial and territorial legislatures, as well as the Parliament of Canada, begin legislative sessions with a Speech from the Throne delivered on the government's behalf by the Lieutenant Governor or the Governor General of Canada, there is no formal direct equivalent for an annual address from either the federal government or regional governments in the Canadian system.
