Training for Municipal Staff and Councillors

Municipal Training is a departmental program serving the incorporated municipalities of Newfoundland and Labrador. The program exists to strengthen and improve the leadership, administrative, operational and other job related skills of municipal councillors, municipal administrators, and other municipal employees. The program accomplishes this primary goal by providing training and continuing educational opportunities in areas of importance to municipal councils and their staff. The program also develops quality resource materials that municipalities can use as guides to improving the management and operational capabilities at the local level.

Municipal Council Handbook

The Municipal Council Handbook is a resource for municipal councils, councillors and staff, and contains information and guidance on applicable legislation and best practices. In preparation for the 2017 municipal elections, the Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment (now the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Municipalities) compiled a 2017 Interim Edition of the Municipal Council Handbook, which includes updated departmental references, contact information, and internet hyperlinks. Municipalities can download the free, electronic copy using this link: Municipal Council Handbook 2017 (2 MB).

A hardcopy version of the handbook is available from Queen’s Printer at a cost of $6.00 per book, plus tax and shipping. To request a quote, please email queensprinter@gov.nl.ca.

The Department strongly encourages readers to cross-reference all references to legislation, regulations, and government programs, with current municipal legislation. Current municipal legislation can be found on the Department’s website.
