Overview
Town policies establish a clear framework for consistent, fair, and transparent decision-making. They guide how municipal services are delivered, how operations are managed, and how Council and staff carry out their responsibilities.
All policies are approved by Council and reviewed periodically to ensure they remain current, relevant, and aligned with the needs of residents and businesses.
