Consultation: Strengthening accountability for municipal council members

The Government of Ontario has launched a consultation on changes to the Municipal Act. They are seeking feedback on:

·       what changes or mechanisms are needed to better hold council members accountable for municipal code of conduct violations

·       how to more effectively enforce these codes

·        whether a broader range of penalties for violations of the codes of conduct are needed 

To participate, please share your feedback to the online survey available at https://www.ontario.ca/page/consultation-strengthening-accountability-municipal-council-members

The survey will be available online until July 15, 2021. 

For more information about municipal codes of conduct and accountability rules for members of council, please see the Ontario Municipal Councillor’s Guide, the Municipal Act, 2001 and City of Toronto Act, 2006, or contact your municipality directly.
