Business Update
The Town of Erin has 5 Advisory Committees. https://www.erin.ca/town-hall/committees
We had a great response to the recent call for Committee positions. I am thrilled that so many residents volunteered to step up to serve the community by becoming a Committee member.
I am the Council Representative on the Economic Development Advisory Committee so I will start to add Business Updates on a regular basis to these bulletins. It is incredibly important to focus on Support Local right now.
