Just wrapped up four full days in Ottawa at the 2025 AMO Conference — an incredible week of learning, collaboration, and advocacy on behalf of Aurora.
The AMO Conference brings together municipal leaders from across Ontario to share ideas, tackle challenges, and meet directly with Ministers and provincial officials. Over the past few days, I had the chance to sit down with colleagues and government partners to talk about the issues that matter most to our community — from building more housing, to securing predictable and sustainable infrastructure funding, to ensuring municipalities have the tools we need to deliver for our residents.
Along with those meetings, I attended a number of sessions and workshops that highlighted innovative approaches to housing, climate resilience, municipal finance, and community engagement. These sessions offered valuable insights and practical ideas that I look forward to bringing back to Aurora.
It was also a great opportunity to hear success stories from other communities and strengthen connections with municipal colleagues from across Ontario.
I’m proud to represent our Town and to make sure Aurora’s voice is part of these important provincial conversations.
One Response
I understand that Aurora has committed to the provincial government to build affordable housing but it seems that the only housing development that I see is for the rich.
What is the definition for affordable housing?
What are the town’s plans to build it?
Thank you in advance for your response.
