The city council of Thunder Bay has unanimously voted to find training sessions that will help them in their roles as elected officials. The training will focus on fostering collaborative relationships, emotional reasoning, and conflict resolution. The council aims to improve how its members function within boards and committees and how they work together and manage conflict.
THUNDER BAY – The city and the integrity commissioner are one step away from working on finding sessions for council that will assist them in their capacity as elected officials .
Council asked for the clerk’s office to do this work late last month after amending the recommendation from their appointed integrity commissioner, Principle’s Integrity, to remove Agarwal from the Fort William Business Improvement Area board, also known as the Victoria BIA. Coun. Agarwal has already been docked 30 days worth of pay in a separate finding by the integrity commissioner after she violated the code during a dispute with residents over the summer.“There has always been ongoing education in every other occupation that I have ever been in. I love education and taking courses, this exercise should be more robust for everybody. Learning opportunities don't hinder us, they only make us better.
“I have some concerns recently with the decorum in the council chambers. This is an opportunity for us to step outside of city hall but still work together and get that education,” Oliver noted.
