SKARIKA PROPOSAL ADVANCES:
Cities & Regional Government Agree:
Replace Regional Government with
Local Democracy & Cooperation
in the Hamilton-Wentworth Region
12 March 1997
After being threatened with amalgamation into the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional government, local municipalities
have unanimously agreed to a plan to dismantle the regional government, strengthen municipalities and
work cooperatively to deal with regional needs. The plan, authored by Ontario Provincial
Parliament member Tony Skarika (Progressive Conservative) received approval from the final unit of
government in the Hamilton-Wentworth region on March 11, by an 18-8 vote of the Hamilton-
Wentworth Regional Council.
The Skarika Plan is being
considered by the provincial government.
