Medicine Hat launches new public code of conduct that aims to restore ‘civility’
The City of Medicine Hat has created guidelines for how members of the public should interact with its employees and council that councillors say aims to restore civility.
The new policy outlines consequences for those who break the rules that are designed to only be applied in extreme scenarios.
“The whole motive behind this is general civility,” Coun. Darren Hirsch said during Monday’s council meeting before joining the other seven councillors in voting to approve the proposed public code of conduct.
