Waterloo Region’s red-hot housing market hits close to home for Wilmot Township Mayor Natasha Salonen.

Time to loosen zoning restrictions and say no to NIMBYs Ms. Mayor. *

Despite earning around $90,000 a year between her work as mayor, regional councillor and with the local electric utility, she says she can’t afford to buy a home in the municipality she leads.
