flag North Huron faces legal action over a ban on recording council meetings, citing Charter rights and transparency concerns.

flag A legal challenge has been launched against a North Huron bylaw banning public recording of council meetings, with advocates arguing it violates freedom of expression under the Canadian Charter. flag The issue stems from two men being removed and ticketed for recording meetings, leading to a 60-day ban. flag Though the township records meetings for public viewing, the videos are edited by council, raising transparency concerns. flag Legal representatives say using 911 to remove individuals with phones is disproportionate. flag A similar bylaw in Whitby was rescinded after a legal warning. flag As of Feb. 11, North Huron had not responded to the legal notice, and a court challenge may follow, potentially taking over a year.
