New Term of Council Begins Training Tonight

The next term of council has its first training meeting tonight.

John Norton, the General Manager of Community Development, says it’ll be a chance for everyone to meet each other before they’re sworn in.

“The new Mayor will be there and he’s going to be able to introduce himself and speak to them a little bit, so it’s really an opportunity tonight for them to get to know each other. The CAO will be introducing himself and his leadership team. And then myself and the municipal Clerk will be going through some training for council for several hours. We’re going to focus on some of the details about how council meetings work, what the legalities are, what the rules are around our procedures,” says Norton.

Norton says they’ll also be going over Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest rules. He says there are a few more meetings planned for the new council over the next few weeks.

The next term of council will be sworn in on December 3, 2018.
