Registration is open for the Municipal Code of Conduct In-Person Training Sessions.
NSFM invites all municipal elected officials and village commissioners to register for the upcoming in-person Code of Conduct training sessions this month. These sessions are a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of the updated Code of Conduct and equip you with insights to excel as municipal leaders.
While in-person training is not mandatory, it serves as an excellent complement to the mandatory online training module launching in February. The January sessions will be interactive, offering a platform to engage directly with the facilitator and address your questions.
About the Facilitator:
Parker Byrne, an associate lawyer at Burchell Wickwire Bryson LLP in Halifax, specializes in municipal law, labour and employment law, and litigation. He brings practical experience advising municipalities across Nova Scotia, including handling Code of Conduct matters. With a personable approach and a robust legal background, Parker has represented clients at all levels of Nova Scotia courts and has also worked as a prosecutor.
Mandatory Online Training:
Details for the mandatory February online module will be shared with all members and village commissioners by mid-January.
