Council Code of Conduct
The public expects high standards of conduct and accountability from elected municipal officials. Nova Scotia’s Code of Conduct for Municipal Elected Officials Regulations establish consistent standards of conduct for municipal elected officials across the province.
The Town of Lockeport has adopted the provincially prescribed Code of Conduct for Municipal Elected Officials Regulations (N.S. Reg. 219/2024, as amended). The Code establishes standards of conduct and accountability for members of Council in carrying out their duties and serving the community.
Code of Conduct Complaints
Under the current provincial regulations, a Code of Conduct complaint may only be submitted by a member of Lockeport Town Council regarding the conduct of another member of Lockeport Town Council.
Council members cannot submit a Code of Conduct complaint on behalf of a resident, organization, or other person.
Complaints must be submitted directly to the Town’s independent investigator in accordance with the provincial Code of Conduct process.
