Council Policy Review

Council repealed several policies and approved an addition to the Council Policy during last night’s meeting. After a review of all Town policies, Administration recommended a series of changes to existing Council policies. The policies recommended for repeal are no longer required as they have been developed into a procedure or included in a bylaw. The approved changes will be posted to the Town website.
