How to declare

Members of Council and Local Boards are required under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act to declare a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in relation to a matter under consideration.

A pecuniary interest is a matter where there is a reasonable likelihood or expectation of financial loss or gain to the member. The onus to declare a pecuniary interest rests with the member.

Section 5.1 of the Act requires a member to file a Written Statement of Disclosure of Interest Form after the member discloses a pecuniary interest under section 5.
