The County of Frontenac has established a Governance Review Committee to carry out a review of its governance by-laws and policies. These by-laws dictate such things as the structure of Council Meetings, how decisions are made, steps taken to ensure meetings are transparent and open to the public and how citizens are able to communicate with Council on agenda items or issues in our community.

To ensure that the County of Frontenac’s policies are up-to-date and meet the needs of the corporation, staff are reviewing a number of existing policies, and where deemed beneficial, are proposing updated policies for Council’s consideration and approval.

The goal of the governance policy review and any proposed amendments is to update existing governance related policies and by-laws to streamline processes and improve the efficiency of the business of County Council and its Committees and Boards.

The Governance Review Committee is seeking community input regarding the County's by-laws and policies on what is currently working well and where improvements could be made, particularly on transparency, accountability and how residents are able to participate in municipal decision making.

The public plays an essential role in the County's decision-making by:

  • Identifying issues for Council and staff consideration;
  • Providing input and feedback on services, reports and policies;
  • Partnering with the County to deliver programs; and
  • Providing ideas and recommendations to committees, by voting, through local actions and advocacy and by participating in consultations, surveys and advisory bodies.

Please take a few minutes to review By-laws and Polices to be reviewed below, plan to attend future Governance Review Committee Meetings, and subscribe to EngageFrontenac.ca for updates. This project will help shape the accountability and transparency of the County to ensure good governance for its residents.

Residents are encouraged to ask any questions or submit comments about the County of Frontenac Governance Review.
