Your Niagara
The road to building a better Niagara.
Are you in favour of the Council of the Regional Municipality of Niagara passing the necessary resolutions and bylaws to change the method of selecting its Chair from appointment by members of Regional Council to election by general vote of all electors in the Region?
1. ELECT REGIONAL CHAIR BY VOTERS LIKE A MAYOR
2. DOUBLE DIRECT CITY/REGIONAL COUNCILLORS
3. MERGERS OR ONE CITY
Niagara should elect the Region’s Chair just like we elect our city mayor , by general vote across the Region.
Regional councillors should be city councillors serving at both city and region like Oakville in Halton Region and Oshawa in Durham Region

Modernize Niagara
Bringing electoral reform to the citizens of Niagara - Durham did it, so can we!
Now that Bill 39 has passed, and Jim Bradley has been both appointed by the Province and elected by Regional Council , to the Chair, let him and all the Regional Councillors , city councillors and mayors and MPPs know what you think about Modernizing Niagara.
We have been talking about it for years, it is time to make electing a Regional Chair happen. Make your voice known, talk to your councillors, complete our quick form, help make a difference in Niagara. You have the voice to do so!
At the same time, we are advocating for the Double Direct Model whereby 6 of 12 City councillors will serve as both a Regional and City Councillor; Double Direct like Oakville.
