Wawa's Councillor Mitch Hatfield has been officially reprimanded over a code of conduct violation.
Mayor Ron Rody read off an official letter of reprimand during Tuesday's meeting, noting the Integrity Commissioner found Hatfield had violated the code of conduct by disclosing confidential information - Hatfield then read a letter of apology, saying she "let down the people who put their faith in" her and she'll "do everything in [her] power to learn from this regrettable mistake" and earn back trust.
The Integrity Commissioner investigation concluded Hatfield had released to a member of the public confidential information about another Integrity Commissioner investigation involving an anonymous complainant, recommending the formal reprimand and verbal apology, both of which are to be posted on the municipality's website.
It also recommended that Hatfield's remuneration - a councillor's compensation or pay - be suspended for three months, though she can still continue her duties as a councillor.
