Municipal Act changes broaden local government powers and openness
Changes to the Municipal Act now require open meetings for councils and boards, restricts bylaw voting in closed sessions, and limits in camera talks to listed subjects. The overhaul aims to give local governments more authority, accountability, and faster responses to community needs, with further reforms slated for 2000. Separately, CAC and Los Alamos seek zero emission coal electricity, detailing a five year plan to harvest hydrogen from water using coal in a closed loop process to emit no carbon, with Canadian partners including CRC, NRCan, and Alberta entities.
