Council

Who decides, and how you can hold them to account

McGarry is run by an elected council of 4 people. They set the budget, approve big purchases and hire the senior staff who run the town day to day.

How to raise a concern

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

  1. Integrity Commissioner

    The Township's Integrity Commissioner page links its Code of Conduct, an inquiry protocol, By-Law 2021-36 (which adopts an Integrity Commissioner) and a complaint form. We did not find any reports from the Commissioner.
