North Huron Council Blocks Public From Oversight Committee #HoldTheLine #StopTheSS

On 19Dec2022 North Huron will be setting up a Social/Property Standards committee that is required to be “independent and autonomous from Council and Municipal Administration”. 

Property/Social Standards enforcement are commonly referred to as Social Standards when enforced on private land. They claim to have powers greater than the police or a judge and can trespass and confiscate property on a whim, starting to mimic another organization in history with the same SS abbreviation.

This committee is an extremely important safeguard to make sure the council does overreach and abuse their power. Since this is Wingham, council will be appointing themselves as their own oversight committee, assuring their overreach can never be questioned or stopped. Bylaw enforcement/SS simply claims they are just following orders when questioned.

Council knows that if they allowed a member of the Public to sit on this Public Committee their power could be obliterated within 4 questions. This is why North Huron has banned questions and strictly restricts the Public’s participation.

Next council meeting is 19Dec2022. Have your say before it’s too late.
