The Vice Chair of the Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, Warden Kevin Marriott of Lambton County, has issued a statement on the continuing threat of tariffs.

Warden Marriot says “As Vice-Chair of the Western Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, I want to express our ongoing support for the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada as they work to navigate the challenges posed by tariffs and other trade restrictions. The Western Ontario Wardens' Caucus recognizes that these barriers create significant challenges for industries that are vital to our region’s economic stability, job creation, and long-term prosperity.

Our communities in Western Ontario thrive when we work together and supporting our local producers, manufacturers, and farmers is critical to ensuring continued growth and sustainability. The WOWC will remain a vocal advocate for solutions that protect our industries and communities, as we are committed to working with all levels of government to safeguard our region’s economic future.

Western Ontario’s strength comes from our ability to adapt and respond as a region, and the WOWC remains dedicated to partnering with all stakeholders to ensure our communities remain strong and resilient.”
