Ward 4. Coun. Susan Stevenson and deputy mayor Shawn Lewis are calling for a review of the code, saying it has not been significantly reviewed since 2019.

A reprimanded London, Ont., city council lor and the deputy mayor have put forward a motion to review the code of conduct and straighten out some unclear rules.

“Our own integrity commissioner told us that our code of conduct really needs to be updated, that it’s not easy to work with, that it’s described as clunky. It’s a clunky process,” Lewis says. “The Ombudsman says on their website that if social media is something that councils wish the Integrity Commissioner to apply the code of conduct to that it should be specifically stated.”

The recommendations will include social media use. Stevenson has expressed that she does not feel social media has a place in the code of conduct. The current code of conduct demands councillors treat other members, city staff and the public “appropriately and without abuse, bullying or intimidation.”
