WELLINGTON NORTH — The township has a new integrity commissioner, even though it has needed one in years.

Provincial legislation mandates that municipalities have one to supports accountability and transparency within the governance of the township.

The new Wellington North integrity commissioner will be Principles Integrity.

“In 2018 Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP were appointed the IC for all Wellington County upper and lower tier municipalities for the term 2018 ending December 31, 2022.”

However, there have not been any issues among the Wellington North township council raised by the current IC.

“To date there have been no formal requests for investigations made to the IC against any member of the council of Wellington North.

“During this term of Council we have paid the current IC $1,088.84.”
