Warden Robin Jones, Chair 2018
|
Welcome
I am honoured to represent the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC) this year as Chair and to have the opportunity to continue supporting the property taxpayers across rural Eastern Ontario, as the EOWC has done since its inception.
The EOWC's priorities for 2018 are focused on improving infrastructure and connectivity, growing the regional economy, and reducing municipalities' operational costs. Among other strategies, the EOWC endeavours to do this by focusing on two major priorities for this important year:
- through the Eastern Ontario Regional Network, closing the many cellular network gaps, boost mobile broadband service across Eastern Ontario, and increase public safety for residents and first responders during emergencies; and
- through the Eastern Ontario Leadership Council, implement the regional economic development strategy and address Eastern Ontario's future economic development needs, being a) workforce development and deployment, b) technology integration and innovation, and c) integrated, intelligent transportation systems.
I hope you find our new website informative and I invite you to take an interest in the affairs of our great region.
Warden Robin Jones, Chair 2018
