RUNNING FOR MUNICIPAL COUNCIL

The Ministry of Government Relations has developed a new document to inform citizens of the requirements and process of running for Municipal Council. The elected council is the governing body of the municipality. Elected officials make decisions by passing resolutions or enacting bylaws. Bylaws are the laws of the municipality. Council establishes policies about what essential core services to provide, how those services will be delivered, and at what levels.
