On behalf of the Municipal Council, it is with the greatest pleasure that I greet you. Whether you have selected our Municipality to make it your permanent home or you are just passing through from time to time, we are very happy to welcome you to the beautiful Morin-Heights region.

Municipal democracy manifests itself during Council meetings. The elected officials meet as a council representing the population, and as its representative, they make decisions on the direction and action priorities of the town. The ordinary sessions of the Council take place the second Wednesday of each month.

This article explains the role, responsibilities, and how a municipal council works.

A council only speaks by resolution and by-laws. Every council’s decision is written in the book of proceedings by the assembly’s secretary.

The Municipal Council is made un of the Mayor and six councillors. The Council is elected for a 4-year term.
