How to raise a concern

From the gentlest step to the most serious. Start at the top.

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township's page says it has an independent Integrity Commissioner, an outside lawyer, who takes complaints under the Code of Conduct by mail, fax or email. We did not find any reports from the Commissioner.

  2. Closed meeting investigator: Ontario Ombudsman

    The Ombudsman's 2023 report on the Township says the Ombudsman is the Township's closed meeting investigator. See the finding on that report below.
