Op-Ed
Response to Ford Flip-flop
I want to address statements made in “Ford’s Municipal Flip-Flop” published in the Niagara Independent on October 29, 2019. Earlier this year, our government conducted a review of Ontario’s eight regional governments and Simcoe County, including Niagara Region. Municipalities in the review have experienced significant changes since regional governments were first established over 50 years ago. We wanted to ensure that the current system was respecting taxpayers’ dollars and working efficiently for Ontarians.
