In January 2024, the Ontario Auto Mayors, led by Mayor Rob Burton, actively engaged with federal government officials to address the escalating issue of auto theft affecting communities across Ontario. Highlighting the need for enhanced security measures and resource allocation, particularly at the Port of Montreal, the caucus emphasized a collaborative approach involving all levels of government. The advocacy underscores a unified effort to mitigate the impacts of auto theft on public safety and economic stability. The next assembly of the Ontario Auto Mayors is scheduled for fall 2024, where ongoing strategies and new initiatives will continue to be a pivotal discussion point.
