Quote from Natasha Salonen, Mayor, Township of Wilmot
“Local government is at the heart of public service in Ontario. Municipal services touch almost everything we do, from the construction and maintenance of the roads and sidewalks we travel, to the things that keep us safe, like operating traffic signals and placing crossing guards in school zones. When we turn on the tap for water, play in parks or skate in public arenas, local government is there. I am happy to connect with Wilmot students, sharing what the Mayor and Council in the Township do and the services the Township provides.”
