Wellington North Mayor Andy Lennox says big change is coming to the municipality.
Growth projections show that Wellington North is second only to Centre Wellington for the largest growth in Wellington County over the next 25 years.
He explains that the growing number of retirees in Mount Forest poses a business opportunity. But it also can pose a problem to find young replacements for seniors who are volunteering less and moving out of their businesses.
Lennox says it's time for residents to speak up on how they want the community to look in ten or 20 years so that the values people hold dear are protected during this period of growth.
