Minto mayor re-elected to Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board

County of Wellington Councillor and Town of Minto Mayor George Bridge will again advocate for key issues as a representative on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors.

Bridge has been re-elected to the FCM Board of Directors for the 2020-2021 term.

Bridge is one of 16 members representing the Ontario Caucus. FCM’s Board of Directors is comprised of elected municipal officials and affiliate members from all regions and various-sized communities throughout Canada. It forms a broad base of support and carries the municipal message to the Government of Canada.

“It’s a great privilege to be re-elected to the FCM National Board of Directors by my Ontario peers – especially during this extraordinary time,” said George Bridge. “I am proud to be an advocate for key issues that people are facing across Ontario and in Wellington County.”

Bridge has served the Town of Minto and Wellington County since 2010 and has served on the FCM Board of Directors since 2016.

This year, the FCM election was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
