The State of the Region will reflect on the area’s response to the pandemic, explore the economic and social impacts on our urban and rural communities, share recent successes, and discuss our municipalities’ vision for the future.

“As we emerge from this time of unprecedented challenges, this is an opportunity to hear from our municipal leaders about recovery, resilience, future plans and priorities, and the strength of collaborative relationships,” said Chamber of Commerce Chair Larry Gibson.

The event will commence with addresses delivered by each of the municipal leaders. Attendees will then have an opportunity to participate in a moderated Question & Answer period.
