Keynote speech for: NOMA, Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association

SMALL TOWNS, GREAT FUTURE?

“Hi Bruce. I just got home and wanted to reach out to thank you for your riveting and informative presentation today. It was so well done. I had one city manager come up and ask me if it was possible to get a copy of the video shot today on your phone. He wants to share it with his executive management team and planning department. Thanks again!” Kristen Oliver, Executive Director, Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association
