Issues

Southwestern Priorities and Concerns:

The WOWC provides a respected and informed view and voice on the important topics of concern for the people and municipalities of Southwest Ontario. Advocacy, on behalf of this significant portion of the province of Ontario we represent, is a key pillar of the work of the Caucus. Key areas of interest currently include and are not limited to:

  • Transportation Connectivity and Performance
  • Long Term Care and Seniors
  • Infrastructure
  • Access to High Speed Broadband Networks
  • Economic Development across Southwestern Ontario

The Caucus seeks to inform and influence in these areas, and welcomes cooperation and perspectives of all concerned. The WOWC seeks to partner with the Provincial Government and provide valuable insights and perspectives on how the opportunities and concerns of our communities are addressed. The WOWC offers supported views and reasoned actions toward initiatives to promote progress for Ontario.

By working together, the WOWC and the municipalities of Southwestern Ontario can provide our residents and businesses with the services, supports and infrastructure they need to thrive today and into the future, while planning for growth and a rapidly aging population. Many of our priorities are about connecting small and mid-sized communities to Ontario’s broader infrastructure system, which will enable vitality, equity and prosperity for all.
