Are Councillors paid?

Posted June 4, 2020

Yes. Councillors are paid an honorarium plus travel, accommodation and meal expenses for each Council-approved meeting they attend. The amount paid does not represent full compensation for lost earnings, but rather reflects a reasonable payment for one’s time and service.
