Accountability and Transparency

It's our responsibility to provide an effective government for everyone in Woodstock. This means doing everything we can to be accountable and transparent by encouraging public access and participation in the matters that affect our City.

We will:

• Be responsive to the needs of our constituents and receptive to their opinions
• Deliver high quality services to our citizens
• Promote the efficient use of public resources

Our Commitment

Accountability, transparency and openness are achieved by adopting measures that ensure that all activities and services are undertaken using a process that is open and accessible to our stakeholders.

Read the complete accountability and transparency policy.

Delegation of Powers Policy

Delegation of power policies are provided to increase efficiency and effectiveness of certain public services. To better serve you, city council has passed the delegation of powers and duties policy.

Conflict of Interest Registry

The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act requires the municipality to maintain a public registry as of March 1, 2019 of all pecuniary interests declared by members of Council and the Committee of Adjustment. The registry must include the original written declaration provided by the member and must be available to the public. A chart of the declarations is available online and a full registry, including the written statements, is available in the Clerks Office at City Hall.

The BIA, Library Board, and Police Services Board each maintain their own Conflict of Interest Registry. For access to a specific registry, please contact the respective organization directly.
