There’s a strong local presence on the newly formed Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Board of Directors.
The election for the 2026-28 term took place at this week’s AMO Conference in Ottawa, and six officials from our region have made the board.
Deputy Mayor of Grey Highlands Dane Nielsen, Brockton Councillor Steve Trevale, and Mapleton Councillor Amanda Reid were chosen as Rural Caucus Officials.
In addition, Grey County Councillor Barbara Dobreen, Huron County CAO Meighan Wark, and Wellington County Councillor Diane Ballantyne were all re-elected as County Caucus Officials.
AMO’s governing body includes 47 members who are both elected and non-elected.
AMO is a non-profit organization that represents 444 municipalities throughout Ontario. Its aim is to amplify their collective voice and ensure that the views of cities, towns, rural areas, and northern municipalities shape provincial and federal policies.
“Long-term, sustainable provincial funding is needed to ensure municipalities can continue to deliver the infrastructure and services Ontarians rely on,” said Brockington.
The 2026 AMO Conference will conclude on Wednesday.
