Registry of Declared Interest

Effective March 1, 2019, the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, requires municipalities to make a registry of declarations of interest available for public inspection. These open data sets allow you to review the record of declared interests for Members of Council.

Verbal declarations are recorded and published as part of the minutes of each meeting. Changes to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act now require Members to submit a written declaration in addition to making a verbal declaration. Both are captured in this registry as of March 1, 2019. Records prior to March 1, 2019 contain only verbal declarations and the Act does not require retroactive written declarations.

The declaration data for an item becomes available when the minutes for a meeting have been published.
