Municipal meetings

In Ontario, under the Municipal Act, municipalities are required to appoint an investigator to take complaints about closed meetings. This could be the Ombudsman or another investigator. 

Please note that although the Ombudsman is not the designated closed meeting investigator for all municipalities, our Office does take general complaints about all Ontario municipalities, except for the City of Toronto, which has its own Ombudsman.
