Open meetings: Case digest

Welcome to the Ontario Ombudsman's open meeting case digest

Municipal meetings should always be open to the public, with a few narrow exceptions. Ontario municipalities are required to appoint an investigator for complaints about  municipal meetings that are not open to the public; this can be the Ombudsman or another investigator of the municipality’s choosing.

This digest allows users to search the Ombudsman’s investigations of such complaints. You can filter by keyword (including by Municipal Act exception), municipality, or use our digest search to type in a word or phrase to search using your own words.
