September 26, 2014 · 0 Comments
At the recent Annual Conference of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Caledon Councillor Allan Thompson was elected to the AMO Board of Directors, Regional and Single-Tier Caucus.
As a member of the Board, Thompson will help set policy for the Association and serve as a key municipal leader in the Province.
“AMO benefits from membership from across the Province, and a Board that reflects the diversity of Ontario’s municipal governments,” said AMO President Gary McNamara. “To that end, I am pleased to have Allan on the 2014-2016 Board team.”
AMO’s key advocacy priorities are focused on achieving fiscal sustainability for municipal governments, advancing federal, provincial partnerships for infrastructure and strengthening municipal legislative authority to advance local economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. AMO supports strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.
