The Municipality of Central Manitoulin has received correspondence from the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman regarding a complaint about a closed session discussion held during a special council meeting on September 17, 2025.

The complaint alleged that Council improperly discussed a matter in closed session, contrary to the open meeting rules outlined in the Municipal Act, 2001.
