Introduction and Welcome
It is my pleasure to be here today, with so many guests from all corners of Niagara. With this many people gathered to hear my remarks, I certainly hope I don't disappoint. First of all, I would like to thank all of the Chambers of Commerce for hosting this opportunity to share my perspective on Niagara, and where I see the Region in the year ahead. I would also like to acknowledge the many members of Regional Council in the audience today - seems to me like we have enough representation to hold a Council meeting here. I see that most of them are seated together and I hope they are listening attentively - I am sure there will be questions later. (for full speech, click here State-of-the-region-address-march-2011 )
