Are there topics that cannot be discussed with Council?

While most topics can be openly discussed at public meetings with Council, there are a few that cannot. These include:

  • Matters that require confidentiality under the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) and Access to Information Act (ATIA) (e.g., personnel matters),
  • Education matters that have not first been referred to and discussed by the appropriate school division, and
  • Decisions of the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board or the Assessment Review Board.

If you are wondering whether your topic can be discussed, please check with the Legislative Clerk.
