Office of the Integrity Commissioner

What is an Integrity Commissioner?

The Integrity Commissioner:

• provides advice on the application of Council’s Code of Conduct (PDF file) and the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (external link);
• conducts inquiries in response to complaints regarding whether a member of Regional Council has contravened these policies and legislation; and
• provides other services respecting ethical and integrity matters.

The Integrity Commissioner does not investigate complaints about Regional or HCHC staff. Those matters are handled by the Region’s Ombudsman.
