Highlands East Mayor Dave Burton recently was elected to the position of Warden of Haliburton County, but it’s not the first time he’s been in that role. Taking over for Liz Danielson, who held the Warden’s seat for six terms, Burton is eager to develop a more collaborative approach with the four lower tier governments in the County.
CanoeFM recently spoke with Warden Burton in our studios. He talked about his priorities for the term ahead, past successes, challenges and what’s kept him in public service for so long. Here is the conversation.
