Renfrew County Councillor Peter Emon secures seat on AMO Board Rural Caucus

OTTAWA – Renfrew County Councillor Peter Emon will continue his advocacy for rural municipalities as a member of the Rural Caucus of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) board.

He was acclaimed to the position ahead of the 2022 AMO Conference, which is taking place in Ottawa Aug. 14-17.

As a member of the board, Councillor Emon will help set policy for the association and serve as a key municipal leader in the province. He will remain in the position until 2024.

"The rural municipalities need to be represented in conversations with the Province to ensure we do not get left behind. Our needs are different; as challenging and as pressing as our urban neighbors,” he said. “My participation at AMO and ROMA ensures Renfrew County’s needs are discussed and recognized so resources can be identified to assist in making our community viable and a great place to live, raise a family or start a business."

Councillor Emon feels fortunate to have the guidance and support of MPP John Yakabuski, County Council and senior staff as he advances the needs of rural Ontario municipalizes.

“Our local governments across our community remain a valuable source of information and support for me also as I represent our community,” he added.

A number of other individuals have also been acclaimed ahead of the conference, including the President Colin Best, Councillor for the Region of Halton and three other members of the Rural Caucus. Some positions will be filled through elections at the conference.

 

AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. AMO supports strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.
