Town of Wasaga Beach

The Ombudsman received a complaint alleging that the Coordinated Committee for the Town of Wasaga Beach contravened the Municipal Act, 2001 on July 21, 2022, when it moved in camera to discuss a report pertaining to the redevelopment of Town-owned property.

The Ombudsman found that the exception cited by the Town, the exception for security of the property of the municipality, did not apply. However, the Ombudsman found that the matter was permitted to be discussed in closed session under the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege, the exception for plans and instructions for negotiations, and the exception for personal matters about an identifiable individual.
