With the June 7th provincial election right around the corner, DBOT was proud to continue the tradition of hosting Election Forums with the candidates seeking election in Dufferin-Caledon. The Elections Forum Committee received questions from the community and posed them to the candidates at two forums; one in Shelburne and the other in Orangeville. It was an opportunity to bring important business issues to the forefront of the political discussion and I encourage all of you to
Vote Prosperity
