Submitting a Public Complaint
The Corporation of the Township of Brock is committed to continuous organizational improvement in an environment where all complaints are dealt with fairly in a respectful, transparent fashion.
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction related to the service, actions or lack of actions by a Township of Brock staff member in connection with the delivery of services to the public. Complaints may relate to the actions of an individual or a policy, process or procedure. Anonymous allegations or allegations made on behalf of an unidentified third party will not be entertained or investigated. A complaint is distinct from a request for service, enquiry, feedback, compliment, or suggestion.
