TORONTO – On Jan. 28 the annual Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) Conference Wellington County councillor Chris White was re-elected to the ROMA board of directors, representing Zone 2 for the 2019-2023 term.
“It’s an honour to be re-elected to the ROMA board of directors,” said White.
“I believe that rural Ontario, with all its diversity, needs to have a strong voice.
“We need place-based policies, non-competitive infrastructure funding and provincial use of our rural lens to filter provincial legislation for rural impacts.”
ROMA is the rural arm of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
The association is an integral part of AMO and a number of its executive members serve on the AMO board of directors.
Policy, research and advocacy activities are undertaken by ROMA through AMO. Matters that affect rural communities are brought to the attention of the provincial and federal governments.
“I look forward to continuing the board’s important work with municipalities across Ontario, and am proud to advocate for Ontario and Wellington County residents,” said White.
