Council Watch

Most residents never watch a full council meeting. This section recaps every regular session of Ormstown municipal council in plain language — what was decided, what was discussed, and what's worth following up on. Recaps are built from the public YouTube broadcast and published well ahead of official minutes, which the municipality typically takes 4–6 weeks to release.

Official minutes lag behind these recaps by design — the municipality only publishes a procès-verbal once it's formally adopted at the following regular session. Each recap below links to the relevant minutes once they're available.
