The Ford government excluded Newmarket Mayor John Taylor, who didn't sign the province's housing pledge, from the list of Ontario's newly strengthened mayors
The Ford government is giving the mayors of most of Ontario’s big cities the same “strong mayor” powers it first created for Toronto and Ottawa.
The Ford government first gave Toronto’s and Ottawa’s mayors some of these powers last year with one of the first pieces of legislation that it introduced in its second mandate: Bill 3, the Strong Mayors, Building Homes Act. Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Chatham—Kent, the remaining OBCM municipalities without the powers, will have the opportunity to submit a housing pledge to the province to receive the powers, Clark said on Friday.
