Grey township Reeve, Leona
Armstrong and councillor Robin
Dunbar were among the 1,000 dele
gates sent by local councils to the
Association of Municipalities of
Ontario (AMO) annual conference
in Toronto from August 19-21.
Delegates at the conference were
briefed by Premier Bob Rae on the
impact of the recent Supreme Court
decision on federal transfer pay
ments to the province. Twelve
provincial ministers were on hand
throughout the three-day confer
ence to discuss various issues criti
cal to municipal operation and
budgets.
Mrs. Armstrong said that overall
she found the information at the
conference to be very worthwhile
and educational. "My only disap
pointment was that there were so
many interesting topics scheduled
at the same time, so I could only
attend one," she said. Topics such
as municipal economic develop
ment in a recession and waste
reduction and general welfare assis
tance provided the delegates with
some thought-provoking informa
tion.
In addition to electing a new
AMO board of directors and presi
dent for the coming year, delegates
debated and voted on more than
100 resolution. Those resolutions
endorsed by the conference will be
forwarded to federal and provincial
officials for action.
While many delegates took
advantage of the broad range of
practical workshops available, oth
ers spent long hours conferring
with their counterparts from across
the province.
