    Statement from Mayor Hamlin

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [05 March, 2025] – When the first suggestion of President Trump’s tariffs came on February 1st, Council moved swiftly to unanimously pass my motion to take action against this threat.

    As called for in the motion, Council immediately amended our Town’s purchasing rules to favour local and Canadian. Yesterday our Premier called on all municipalities to restrict American-based companies from participating in Towns’ and Cities’ procurement activities. We have taken this to heart and are awaiting a legal opinion on next steps to further guide our purchasing decisions as this war unfolds.

    We have also already convened an initial Roundtable meeting of our business community. We heard concerns and ideas for how to respond – and unfortunately, plans being considered by one business to relocate to the USA.

    I have shared these concerns and considerations with our provincial and federal government representatives, and will continue to advocate for our residents and businesses.

    Our community must stand together with Canadians across the country as we face this threat. I will continue to provide updates as they are available.

    Mayor
