Council Moves to Fix Accountability Gap

Grande Prairie city council moves to draft a new internal code of conduct pledge after social media posts by a councillor sparked public trust concerns. Local business leaders Ryan Blais and Serge Martin pushed for accountability, noting recent provincial legislation stripped municipalities of formal complaint tools — but argued integrity shouldn’t wait for rules. They urged the council to model accountability like Wood Buffalo’s leadership charter, stressing that elected officials must set a professional example even without bylaws. The council approved sending administration to prepare the draft — a step toward restoring public confidence and setting clear ethical standards.
