Niagara representatives will meet with provincial cabinet ministers next week to discuss priorities for the region
The Niagara Region is heading to Queen's Park next week.
From May 15th until the 17th, Niagara's delegation will meet with cabinet ministers to discuss priorities for the region, as part of "Niagara Week."
The main talking points include affordable housing and funds for the new South Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Officials are also looking to be reimbursed for local property tax dollars that were used to mitigate offload delays for ambulances, as well as support for shared service and modernization initiatives between municipalities. .
"We are pleased to see the return of Niagara Week and with it the opportunity to champion the needs of our communities. By working with upper levels of government we benefit from identifying common goals and establishing a clear understanding regional priorities. As we prepare for significant growth in Niagara, gaining support from the upper levels of government will be essential for many of our growth-related projects and initiatives. I will forward to participating in many productive conversations with members of cabinet and their staff." ~ Regional Chair, Jim Bradley
