Code of Conduct Investigator
The public expects the highest standards of professional conduct from elected officials in local government. The new Code of Conduct for Elected Municipal Officials, as prescribed by the Province, aims to outline the expectations for the behavior of council members in fulfilling their duties and making decisions that benefit the constituents of their municipality. The Council is accountable to the community through democratic processes, and this Code will help ensure good governance in the Town of Shelburne.
On October 7, 2025 amendments to the Code of Conduct for Municipal Elected Officials Regulations were made by the Minister of Municipal Affairs. The amendments included that:
- complaints may only be made by a council member related to the conduct of another elected official in the same municipality; and
- council members may not submit a complaint on behalf of another person or entity; and
- multiple complaints may not be submitted by a council member on the same subject.
