Province develops Code of Conduct training for municipal leaders

The province has developed code of conduct training for municipal leaders.  The province says it will strengthen local governments and benefit elected officials, municipal staff and the public.  The training is to help elected leaders address inappropriate behaviour, and increase their understanding of the procedures for filing a formal code of conduct complaint.  Code of conduct regulations were adopted April 1, and give municipal councils the framework to establish the expectations, rules and procedures they need to create and maintain a safe and respectful council environment.   Current municipal elected leaders will have until March 31, 2024 to complete the training.
