Councillor elected to Rural Ontario Municipal Association board

Wellington North councillor Steve McCabe has been elected as Zone 2 representative to the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) Board of Directors, a news release states. ROMA promotes, supports and enhances strong and effective rural governments.

“I am both thrilled and honoured to have been elected by my peers to serve as the Zone 2 representative. I look forward to helping bring a strong rural influence on current and emerging issues facing rural Ontario municipalities,” McCabe said.

About 270 of Ontario's 444 municipalities have populations of less than 10,000, while scores more are rural in character. The rural arm of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, ROMA, advocates for policies and programs that will help build thriving rural Ontario communities.

"We are proud to support Coun. McCabe while he helps bring the rural perspective to the provincial table,” said Wellington North Township Mayor Andy Lennox.
