Regional plan to merge Peel Halton into large regional government
McKeough outlined a tentative regional system absorbing Burlington through Erin and parts of Wellington, grouping six or seven area municipalities under lower-tier councils. Acton faced mixed reactions as Nassagaweya and rural townships cried disenfranchisement while officials feared loss of local control. The plan aims for six or seven units with Burlington possibly joining, targeting January 1971 as implementation.
