The municipality actively encourages and fosters public participation and openness in its decision-making processes and stands by the following guiding principles:
- Accountability - the municipality will be responsible to the public for decisions made, actions or inactions, and policies implemented.
- Transparency - the municipality's decision-making process is open and clear to the public.
In November 2007, Council adopted an Accountability and Transparency Policy, which sets out guidelines to ensure the Town's governance, operations and activities are accountable and transparent in nature.
Service excellence and customer satisfaction are priorities for the Town. Our Public Complaint Handling Policy outlines the process we take and service standards for handling public complaints.

Principles Integrity is primarily responsible for ensuring the codes of behaviour and ethics governing elected public officials are objectively communicated and applied. This is a critical role in maintaining public confidence in Whitchurch-Stouffville's government.
