During this past week’s annual conference, I was formally formally installed as the President of Board of Directors of the Ontario Good Roads Association! This historic municipal association, which was founded in 1894, and is the precursor to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, is dedicated to the quality and design of Ontario\u2019s municipal transportation infrastructure. The appointment follows my over 10 years of dedicated service on the organization\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Roads, as it is commonly known, represents more than 400 of Ontario\u2019s municipalities and a growing number of First Nations. The Association is a leader in advocacy, research, and specialized training for the transportation and infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am deeply honored to step into the role of President after more than a decade on the Board,” I said during the Annual General Meeting. “My commitment to building safer, more sustainable, and highly connected road networks has grown over the years. I look forward to leading an organization which has become the backbone of municipal tranportation infrastructure in Ontario.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Presidency comes at a critical time for urban and rural infrastructure. I also noted my leadership at Good Roads will provide a direct benefit to the City of Toronto by fostering stronger partnerships and sharing cutting-edge research in asset management, road safety, and environmental innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What we achieve at Good Roads\u2014through our intensive research and premier annual conferences\u2014filters directly back into how we manage our own city’s streets,” I added. “By advancing the interests of all members, we ensure that Toronto remains at the forefront of transportation technology and infrastructure efficiency, ultimately improving the quality of life for all residents.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also able to express my sincerest gratitude to the outgoing President, Mayor Cheryl Fort of the Township of Hornepayne. “I want to thank Mayor Fort for her incredible leadership and the significant strides she made for this association,” said Ainslie. “Her dedication to provincial infrastructure has left a lasting impact, and I am grateful for the solid foundation she has built as I take on this new responsibility.” I was also very proud a few year to nominate Mayor Fort for the position of 3rd Vice-President of Good Roads, which lead to her becoming the first Indigenous President in the history of the Ontario Good Roads Association!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
