Working with members of the public and our valued partners to achieve shared community goals has been a longstanding tradition of our Service and one that is becoming increasingly important as our Region grows and diversifies. Collaboration is at the heart of our motto: One Vision, One Mission, One Team and plays a vital role in helping us maintain our distinction as our nation’s safest regional municipality.
