The Counties, Ontario – On March 6, 2014, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) celebrated its first anniversary of the Economic Development and Communications Division. It has been a year not only to celebrate expanding economic opportunity throughout Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, but also to look forward to the upcoming year and the Municipal Readiness Plan. The morning started off with Tim Simpson, Chief Administration Officer (CAO), welcoming the invited guests and included highlights and 2014 priorities by Terry Besner, Economic Development and Communication Officer (EDCO).
