Halton’s mayors are coming together to form the Halton Mayors Recovery Group.
Mayor Krantz, along with Halton Hills Mayor, Rick Bonnette, Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, will be working together to ensure that Halton transitions into a post COVID-19 world smoothly.
The group are making sure they are prepared for when measures are lifted and our daily lives will shift into our new normal.
They say in a press release ” the dates of when recovery might begin are contingent on the continued slowing of the spread of the virus and the province lifting its emergency orders and restrictions, including those related to businesses and physical distancing. ”
Halton Mayors shared the following statements on this new group in a press release.
“Some residents in Milton work in the other Halton municipalities and vice-versa; so one of our immediate challenges will be restarting our economies in a safe manner that protects public health across all four municipalities,” said Milton Mayor Gordon Krantz.
“From the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, we have stayed in contact as we collectively responded to the situation at hand, so it makes sense that we remain aligned as we plan for the post-COVID 19 recovery phase in our communities,” said Mayor Marianne Meed Ward.
“We all have diverse expertise and experience that will inform this group’s collective action. There is also a lot of talent and know-how in each of our municipalities that we as mayors can draw upon during the recovery phase,” said Mayor Rick Bonnette.
“I look forward to working with my fellow Mayoral colleagues. Whether it is on the CN Hub issue or the amalgamation question, we have found that we are stronger when we work together as a team,” said Mayor Rob Burton
