Pellegrini is part of the Mayor Delegation to China Trade Mission, put on by the Canada China Investment Association. It’s an important gathering of Ontario mayors, government offi cials and key business Professionals in China. The 10-day mission runs May 15-25 and the may- ors will gain an understanding of the economy of China by attending business meetings, conferences and meetings with selected government offi cials in China. The mayors will attend tours of major Chinese cities to experience fi rst-hand, the Chinese culture. Pellegrini is representing not only King, but York Region. It’s his fi rst time visit- ing China and he stressed he will make sure it’s worth it, adding he doesn’t want to spoil his near-perfect attendance record unless it’s worthwhile. Pellegrini noted China has a growing middle class with money to spend and in- vest abroad. China has an interest in agricultural operations. He’s looking forward to the mission and sharing some interesting ideas and potential business partner- ships. Joining Pellegrini will be Mayor Dave Eke, from Niagara-On-The-Lake; Mayor Lou Maieron, from Erin; Mayor Larry Kraemer, from Kincardine; Mayor John Mc- Charles, from Petrolia; Mayor Neil Ellis, from Belleville; Mayor Brenda Halloran, from Waterloo; Mayor Brian McMullan, from St.
