This week, #DufferinCounty joined community members for a flag raising in honour of Sikh Heritage Month.

This Sikh Heritage Month, the County celebrates the contributions that Sikh Canadians have made and continue to make to our community's social, economic and cultural fabric.

I was honoured to have the opportunity to attend Question Period at Queen’s Park (for the first time) followed by a meeting with MPP Sylvia Jones to discuss Dufferin County priorities with my County Council colleagues.
