the city councel is elected into the Municipal level of government. I know this because the CITY councel is only in the local area, that is why the city councel has the word CITY in it.

I disagree with you because the municipal goverment is responsible for cities and towns. I agree when you said that they work for the citizens. You can extend by saying that they work for the citizens because they need a leader to take care of the garbage collection and the transportation around the city.

1.The major civic centre in a municipal government is a city/town hall and the members is the mayor and the councillors.

Ms Rambaran, Leo just forgot to put his name on his comment about Municipal Gov't -- his last sentece was "the people in the city elect the mayor and councillers. And the councillers work for the mayor...." Could you please identify his comment? Many thanks....
ReplyDeleteA municipal level of goverment is Toronto City Council.The council is responsible for governing the city and making city laws. The significant building is City Hall. The key political figures are the Mayor and City Councilors. Our Mayor is Rob Ford. The people who get elected live in Toronto and are voted into office. Also 45 people get elected for each city's municipal government.The official titles are Mayor and Councilors. Toronto's municipal government is split into committees that have many different roles. For example, one of the committees is parks and environment. It is responsible for Toronto's natural environment. Some other responsibilities for Toronto's municipal government are TTC transit and Toronto's garbage collection. The citizens take a vote and elect who they want to be in the municipal government. The government works for the city.

The municipal government would take part in the development by giving the construction workers building permanents which allows them to build there.
