City of Elliot Lake

The Ombudsman found that Council for the City of Elliot Lake did not violate the Municipal Act or its procedure by-law when it held a special closed meeting without advance public notice in order to discuss an urgent matter with its solicitor. The need for the meeting arose after regular business hours and the clerk made reasonable attempts to provide advance notice of the meeting. The meeting agenda and minutes were publicly available on the city's website within two days of the meeting.
