Statement from Mayor Justin Towndale

“With President Trump threatening to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports to the United States, we must take action to protect our local and national economies. This is why I am proud to stand with my peers across the country as a part of the Border Mayors Alliance. 

These tariffs threaten to disrupt the strong and mutually beneficial relationship we’ve built with our neighbors to the south. The negative economic impacts that these tariffs will have will not only affect the Canadian economy, but the United States economy as well.

As a member of this alliance, we are working closely with our partners on both sides of the border to develop effective solutions that will protect our community, strengthen cross-border partnerships, and address the challenges these tariffs present.”
