Accountability and Transparency

The Township of Ramara is committed to providing effective and responsive local government for all residents. This includes fostering transparency, encouraging public participation, and ensuring open access to information that impacts the community.

Key principles:

• Responding to public needs and valuing community input
• Delivering high-quality services to residents
• Promoting the efficient and responsible use of public resources

Accountability and transparency are essential to good governance and help build public trust. These principles are upheld through open, accessible processes that guide all municipal activities and services.

When members of Council, as well as Committees and Boards, discuss topics that involve personal interests, they must publicly declare these conflicts. The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act requires the municipality to maintain a public registry of all pecuniary interests declared by members of Council, Committees and Boards. 

Ramara has developed and maintains various policies respecting the accountability and transparency of municipal government and its operations.
