The Durham Region Home Builders' Association has been asked to join Oshawa's Economic Recovery Task Force, initiated by Mayor Dan Carter and chaired by Ward 2 City and Regional Councillor Tito-Dante Marimpietri.

The Association is being represented by executive officer Stacey Hawkins, who will attend (virtually for now) the bi-monthly meetings.

The purpose of the task force is to identify actions to support the needs of Oshawa businesses impacted by COVID-19 and how the City and businesses can work together to help the economy recover.

The task force is made up of members of the business community in Oshawa, and includes representatives from post-secondary institutions, public institutions, the business community and the development community.

If members have any comments, concerns or ideas they would like brought to the task force, please email them to Stacey at s.hawkins@drhba.com.

Stacey may also be reaching out to members for feedback and information to bring back to the task force.
