We’re accountable to you, our residents, and we’re committed to working in an open and transparent manner. That means working honestly, ethically and with integrity.

Our policy
Like every municipality in Ontario, we are required by the Municipal Act to have an accountability and transparency policy in place. This policy is a set of standards that guide our decision-making.
To ensure our policy continues to reflect the changing needs of our community, we re-examine its content during every new council term. This process includes reviewing our activities and commitments that support accountability and transparency.
Our accountability and transparency policy is reinforced by our code of conduct, which applies to city council, board members, and members of our advisory committees to city council.
