meetings; and 
 add provisions for public participation and meeting decorum

and public hearings to be conducted electronically during the COVID-19 pandemic. That same day, Bill 10 Municipal 
Affairs  Statutes  Amendments Act was  approved  by  the  Province.  Bill  10  included  changes  that  would  allow 
permanent authority for municipal councils and “Trust Bodies” to choose, with amendments to local meeting 
procedures  bylaws,  whether  to  conduct  regular  and  committee  meetings  electronically  (in  addition  to  special
