Wellington County Warden and Town of Minto Mayor George Bridge has joined the board of directors of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).
Bridge was elected to the board for the 2016-17 term at the federation’s annual meeting in Winnipeg from June 2 to 5. Bridge is one of 16 members of the Ontario Caucus.
The FCM board is made up of elected municipal officials and affiliate members from all regions and communities across Canada. The board meets quarterly to discuss key municipal issues, set policy priorities, and serve as a support system for municipalities bringing messages to the federal government.
“It is a tremendous honour to be elected to the FCM national board of directors by my Ontario peers,” said Bridge.
“I am proud to be an advocate for Ontario and Wellington County. I look forward to working directly with other leaders from across Canada on important municipal issues.”
Bridge has served Minto as mayor and Wellington County as a councillor since 2010. He was elected warden in 2014.
