Changes to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act require municipalities to maintain a registry of all declarations made under this Act. The registry must include the original written declaration provided by the member of Council and must be available to the public.
A tabular version of the registry is available online, sorted by Member of Council name which provides the Member’s name, the date of the meeting where the declaration was made, where the declaration was made (Council or Committee name) and the nature of the declaration from the form submitted by the Member.
