Why is the procedural by-law important?

    The public has a right to expect transparent, accessible and legislatively sound proceedings at Council and committee meetings. A good procedural by-law will lay the groundwork for that to happen.

    The procedural by-law guides the ways that you, as a resident, can interact with Council and committees. It provides for how Council and the public are expected to conduct themselves during meetings and it also guides the way that County staff communicate information about municipal meetings to the public. 

    It is an important tool that supports good governance by elected and appointed officials in the municipality.

    How do I participate?

    On this page, you will find a survey requesting your feedback on specific sections of the proposed by-law.  The survey also allows for general feedback on any of the proposed sections.

    The survey will remain open until May 30, 2022.  County staff will consider public feedback before finalizing a new procedural by-law for Council's consideration.
