This is a reminder that the Provincial Government is soliciting your opinion on a Regional Government. The last day to submit your opinion via survey is May 21, 2019.
A message from Steve Clark, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing: Our government is committed to improving the way regional government works. After almost 50 years, it’s time to consider whether changes are needed in communities where populations have grown, and hard-earned taxpayers’ dollars are being stretched. This consultation is an opportunity for us to hear directly from you ? the people who live, work and spend time in the municipalities covered by the review. We want to hear your ideas on how we can improve governance, decision-making and service delivery in the regions and Simcoe County. The outcomes of the review are not predetermined. It is about making sure regional and municipal governments are accountable to the people and working hard to deliver services to their communities. By building on what’s working well, we can improve regional government and make it easier to access local services. Only after we have thoroughly considered the advisors’ recommendations will we determine how to proceed. I look forward to hearing from residents, businesses and our municipal partners on what can be improved.
