Free Online Event - The "A" Word: Unnecessary or Unavoidable?
Description
Is Amalgamation the Future of Governance in Waterloo Region?
This segment of our virtual series is scheduled to take place Thursday March 16, 2023 online via zoom from 6:30 - 8 PM.
Municipal amalgamation refers to the consolidation of multiple municipal governments into a single unit. This process involves the merging of local government structures, including councils, staff, and departments, into a single entity.
While many support this fusion of governance and feel this can result in a more streamlined and efficient government, it remains a controversial issue. Others identify the many possible negative impacts to the local communities, such as a loss of control and communal identity.
This meeting will begin with guest speakers presenting both facts and perspectives on amalgamation and the changes it may mean for Waterloo Region's municipal governance.
Following these presentations, our participants will take the floor, asking any questions they may have and in turn sharing their views and thoughts on the topic.
This event will be recorded with footage made available for later viewing.
