Notice of Adoption of By-law to Change Ward Boundaries and Council Composition |
Please take notice that the Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Neebing, at its regular meeting held on November 3, 2021, passed By-law 2021-043 to change the ward boundaries and Council composition, pursuant to Section 222 of the Municipal Act, 2001.
Under the current structure, there are seven (7) members of Council, made up of a Mayor, a Councillor elected at large, and five (5) ward Councillors (one each for electoral wards made up of the geographic townships of Blake, Crooks, Pardee, Pearson and Scoble).
Under Subsection 222(4) of the Municipal Act, 2001, any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk-Treasurer of the Municipality of Neebing. The Notice of Appeal must:
The by-law will not take effect or be in force until after the appeal period has passed without an appeal, or, in the case of an appeal, until after the appeal has been heard. If there are no appeals, the by-law will take effect for the 2022 Municipal election.
If the by-law comes into force after January 1, 2022, then it will be effective for the 2026 election.
The deadline to file a notice of appeal is Monday, December 20, 2021 at 5:00 pm.

Council Composition Consultation Information |
In the fall of 2019, the Municipality published a series of articles seeking input from residents regarding the composition of Council. As the current term of Council is nearing an end in 2022, Council is interested in providing another opportunity for residents to provide input on the composition of Neebing’s Council. In the 2019 articles, we explained the differences between elections “at large” and elections by geographic ward. In addition, we looked at the possibility of reducing the size of Council from seven to five members. Over the next couple of months, we will provide different opportunities for members of the public to provide feedback on the size and make up of Neebing’s Council.
NEW - It has been proposed that Neebing Council be reduced to 5 members by removing the seat for Councillor-at-Large and having one seat for Pardee and Pearson combined. The Blake, Crooks and Scoble Wards would remain the same. Please complete the follow-up survey to provide your input on this proposed Council Composition.
Comments can be submitted by one of the following methods by 12:00 pm (noon) on Wednesday, November 3, 2021:
Your feedback is important! These are the questions we are asking:
If you have not seen the previous articles or would like a refresher, they are posted below. Alternatively, contact the office, and we can make paper copies of these articles available to you. We look forward to your input. Make your voice heard on this important matter.
