Council Code of Conduct

On May 15, 2025, Bill 50 received Royal Assent thereby repealing Municipal Code of Conduct bylaws by amending the Municipal Government Act.

As a result of Bill 50 existing complaints, investigations, or sanctions related to code of conduct are terminated, except those subject to the judicial process, which remain in the jurisdiction of the courts.

Municipal Affairs has indicated it will consult with stakeholders to establish consistent, standard council meeting procedures and explore options for a municipal ethics commissioner to address councillor accountability and ethics issues.
