Transparency and accountability is important to the Township of Brock. According to section 239 of the Municipal Act, the Township of Brock's Council, committees and boards can hold closed meetings to discuss certain topics.

Request an Investigation

Any person or corporation may request an investigation into whether or not the closed meeting rules were met during a closed meeting. If you would like to investigate a closed meeting, you must submit a written request to the municipal office along with a fee:

1 Cameron St. E.
Cannington, ON

All complaints shall be reported within six months of the alleged violation.

We will contact our closed meeting investigator, Local Authority Services Limited (LAS). They will then investigate the closed meeting to ensure that the Township followed the rules outlined in the Municipal Act.

Closed Meeting Rules

Section 239 of the Municipal Act provides a list of acceptable reasons to hold a closed meeting, this includes, but is not limited to, the following discussion topics:

  • The security of municipal or local board property
  • Personal information about an identifiable individual, including employees
  • Proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land
  • Labour relations or employee negotiations
  • Litigation or potential litigation that affects the municipality
  • Advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communications for that purpose
  • A reason to hold a closed meeting found in another Act
  • Consideration of a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
  • Information provided in confidence to the municipality by Canada or a province or territory
