Code of Conduct

Municipal politicians across Nova Scotia must follow a provincially mandated Code of Conduct, which outlines over 40 guidelines across 14 categories, including gifts, benefits, and confidentiality. Developed by a working group formed in January 2022, the policy was adopted by WHRM Council in December 2024. It requires municipalities to retain legal counsel to review complaints and conduct investigations. The policy defines appropriate and inappropriate conduct and outlines a process for investigating incidents and applying sanctions when necessary.
