City of Kawartha Lakes considering so-called ‘strong mayor powers’
Description
August 29, 2023
Last week, the Ford government expanded so-called 'strong mayor powers' to municipal leaders. The goal is to aid cities across Ontario in meeting provincial housing targets. However, critics argue the powers skirt the democratic process - giving mayors too much leeway in council chambers.
City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Doug Elmslie addressed his councillors while he considers applying for increased capabilities.
