Municipal Act

The Municipal Act is a law that provides the legal framework for how local governments, such as cities and towns, operate and make decisions. It sets out rules for things like creating bylaws, managing finances, providing services, and holding elections. Essentially, it guides the structure, responsibilities, and authorities of municipal governments to ensure they run effectively and are accountable to residents. The Act helps maintain organized and transparent local governance, supporting communities in addressing their unique needs and fostering local development.
