Local Government Week with Mayor Shoemaker

Local government is closest to the people delivering programs and services that directly impact your quality of life. There are 444 municipalities in Ontario governed by municipal Councils. Municipal professionals take care of roads and waste to creating diverse arts and culture experiences for our community. Each year in October Local Government Week raises civic awareness about the vital role local government plays and celebrates municipal change-makers and community builders. Our guest today is Mayor Matthew Shoemaker. Join us as we learn more about what it means to be the Mayor, the opportunities and challenges, and the rewards that come with serving the community.
