Find help for municipal issues or concerns

Who do I call first about a municipal issue or concern?

Municipal Affairs encourages you to first contact your municipality if you have a concern or issue.  Municipalities have bylaws and policies to deal with conflict of interest, code of conduct, processes, elections, and other topics.
