The Ombudsman found that council for the City of Sarnia did not contravene the open meeting rules in the Municipal Act, 2001 on March 31 and May 26, 2025 when it held closed meetings to receive information regarding an ongoing zoning compliance matter. The Ombudsman was satisfied that council’s discussions during both meetings fit within the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege, as council received legal advice from its solicitor.
