REGINA — Regina’s city council recorded zero violations of the city’s code of ethics in 2025, according to the integrity commissioner.
The city first passed its code-of-ethics bylaw in 2017. The following year, the city hired its first integrity commissioner, who investigates and adjudicates potential violations of the bylaw annually. Municipalities in Canada, primarily in Ontario, had adopted similar roles beforehand.
According to the annual report presented at Wednesday’s executive committee meeting, the integrity commissioner received 21 complaints related to council and the city in 2025. Of those, 20 were inquiries — 19 from the public and one from a member of council.
“Thirteen of these inquiries related to complaints about city services, where the person did not know who else to contact about their issue,” notes the report.
The other seven complaints were related to councillors, primarily inquiries about the complaint process.
As for serious inquiries, one formal complaint was made regarding a councillor, but the integrity commissioner found no code-of-ethics violations.
Before the current council, four violations were identified in 2022 and 2023.
