Caledon begins process to find new Integrity Commissioner

At the General Committee meeting on May 5, Caledon Council moved to initiate aprocurement process for the appointment of a new Integrity Commissioner, letting the current contract expire.

Currently, the Integrity commissioner position is held by Boghosian & Allen LLP, with the contract set to expire on November 30, 2026.

The current integrity commissioner has faced numerous instances of backlash in the past, including his announcement of his intention to file a police complaint against Councillor Dave Sheen for alleged attempted extortion.

Many residents gathered at Town Hall last October to call for the IC's resignation or dismissal.

A staff report was brought forward at the General Committee meeting with two options: either a four-year extension or a new appointment in the next term of Council.

Councillor Christina Early moved to pursue the second option, and it was unanimously approved by Council.

There will now be an initiated procurement process for the appointment of a new IC, and Staff will report back by the end of this term of Council with options for interim appointments of an IC from another municipality until a new Integrity Commissioner is appointed for the Town of Caledon by the next term of Council.
