“Your municipality” can make laws and policies that you are bound by — but “your municipality” also operates within “your province,” and within “your country,” and thankfully they have laws that municipalities, councillors, staff, and other public officials are also required to legally abide by.

This new section is dedicated to helping residents better understand their rights including, the charter 2b, freedom of expression, transparency, accountability, access to information, and interactions with public institutions and officials.

The page will explaint your rights while compiling laws, policies, court decisions, real-world examples, and important discussions involving free expression, public scrutiny, government accountability, and the democratic protections that support open discussion in Canada.
