'A victory for all women in politics': A 2025 minute with MPP Donna Skelly
Source: Flamborough today
As we head into a brand new year, FlamboroughToday asked local community leaders five questions about their thoughts on 2025 and their hopes for 2026. Today, MPP Donna Skelly reflects on the past year, and her wish for the next 12 months.
What is your proudest accomplishment of 2025?
I have two accomplishments that I am particularly proud of: proposed legislation exempting farms from stormwater fees and becoming the first woman elected as Speaker of the Province of Ontario.
As your readers will know, I am a vocal critic of municipal stormwater fees in Ontario, particularly in my riding. Agricultural and rural residential properties should be exempt from these charges because they do not use or benefit from municipal stormwater infrastructure.
