“Our government has heard from residents and local government leaders alike who are concerned about the long-term sustainability of local governments,” Joyce said.
“The province is facing demographic challenges that will affect future local governments’ abilities to govern effectively and deliver local essential services. I encourage all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to take part and share your ideas and perspectives on a new potential approach to local governance.”
