\nI\u2019m looking forward to connecting with Aurora\u2019s local business community at the Annual Mayor\u2019s Luncheon hosted by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, February 21 at Oakview Terrace starting at 11:45 a.m.
\nThis event gives me a chance to talk with Aurora\u2019s business community and answer key questions that may affect local businesses. It also gives me the opportunity to hear about the wants and needs of our businesses and how we as a Town can help them thrive. Tickets can be purchased online at aurorachamber.on.ca.
\nI am also honoured to once again support the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority as Chair of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) Board of Directors. This is my fourth year as Chair. I believe in the hard work that the Authority and its staff are doing to protect and restore the Lake Simcoe watershed and I appreciate the opportunity to once again work with the team at LSRCA to help positively impact our local environment.
