Provincial legislation requires that municipalities establish a code of conduct for members of the Council and certain local boards.
View the City’s Council & Certain Local Boards Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct is overseen by the City's appointed independent Integrity Commissioner, Guy Giorno, who is responsible to:
- provide information and direction to Committee and Council members on the Code
- coordinate education and procedural training on the policies, Code and Municipal Conflict of Interest Act to Council, staff, and members of the community
- conduct investigations and provide reports on alleged breaches of the Code
- provide annual reports to Council on any requests of the Integrity Commissioner
Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that a Member has breached a provision of the Code may file a complaint with Guy Giorno, the City’s Integrity Commissioner directly as follows:
