Region of Waterloo chair 'focused' even as province looks to make big changes to regional governance | CBC News

Under its proposed new Better Regional Governance Act, 2026, the province would have the power to appoint regional chairs in the regions of Durham, Halton, Muskoka, Peel, Waterloo and York as well as the warden of Simcoe County, it announced Thursday. Those positions would also receive "strong chair" powers, similar to strong mayor powers.
