Home...Council and Committee MeetingsCity Hall AdministrationClosed Meeting Investigator Information

Municipal Councils must conduct business only at meetings that are open to the public but there are some exceptions where we have closed meetings.

Members of the public have the right to complain if they feel the Municipality held a closed meeting that did not follow the rules/ exemptions listed in the Municipal Act, 2001, Section 239.2 (1) or with any procedure By-laws under Subsection 238 (2).

Our Municipality has appointed an independent person to investigate any complaints made to them by the public about closed meetings. 

Their duties include:

  • Conducting an investigation when they receive a complaint about a meeting or part of a meeting that is closed to the public
  • Determining whether the meeting complied with the Municipal Act/Municipal Procedure By-law
  • Reporting the results of the investigation

Mr. Paul S. Heayn is our current appointed Closed Meeting Investigator.

 How to Submit a Complaint

 Any corporation or member of the public can submit a complaint to the investigator about a meeting or part of a meeting that is closed to the public.

To submit a complaint, follow these steps:

  1.  Complete the form including ALL information fields. Provide as much information as possible. If you do not complete the form the investigator will not accept it.  You can submit and the form will be sent directly to the Closed Meeting Investigator;

    Closed Meeting Investigation Complaint Form
  2. Mail the form to Mr. Heayn in a sealed envelope (faxed or emailed forms are not accepted):

Mr. Paul S. Heayn 
41 Clearwater Cres.
Dryden On, P8N 3H8

Municipal staff should not see or forward complaints. Only the investigator should receive complaints. 

More information

Municipal Act, 2001 - Includes what Ontario municipalities are responsible for, how they must be accountable to the public and what powers they have.
