With the unanimous support of Bracebridge Town Council, Mayor Graydon Smith has officially put his name forward as a candidate for President of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
AMO is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that represents municipalities throughout Ontario as their voice to the Province on matters of advocacy and policy, as well as providing educational opportunities and resources for members.
Currently, AMO also administers distribution of the Federal Gas Tax to each municipality in Ontario.
Smith says “I have been blessed with the chance to be a member of the AMO Board of Directors since 2014, representing the Small Urban Caucus. It has given me an excellent understanding of the challenges faced by communities and I know I can be an effective voice for all the outstanding municipalities in our Province.”
Nominations will close on June 22 with an election (if necessary) at AMO’s Virtual Annual Conference, Aug. 17 to 19, 2020.
