(Wingham, North Huron) — Cameras and questions are now allowed back at North Huron council meetings, thanks to CAO Nelson Santos.
In a written response to public questions about snow-covered sidewalks, the Chief Administrative Officer of the Township of North Huron has made a declaration with sweeping implications: municipal bylaws no longer apply to North Huron. This opens North Huron up to litigation for previous overreach incidents on private property.
At the next meeting on 12Jan2026 council is expected to announce they will letting by-law enforcement officers go, and eliminating that position, saving taxpayers $70,000+/year. “There are no bylaws to enforce anymore, and they weren’t allowed to enforce bylaws anyway, why would continue to pay for enforcement officers?”
In his email, the CAO Nelson Santos states that “municipal responsibilities and mandates do not fall under nor are qualified under its own municipal bylaws,” asserting instead that the Township is governed solely by provincial legislation and regulation when carrying out its duties.
