During a council meeting, Mayor Jeff Colvin publicly presented evidence alleging Councillors Ritesh Narayan, Shannon Dean, and Sandy Johal-Watt violated the city’s code of conduct rules. The evidence included 50 pages of emails and a Postmedia article, which Mayor Colvin claimed proved the violations. Mayor Colvin, along with Councillors Blaine Funk, Stephen Hanley, and Mel Foat, voted to sanction Councillor Narayan by removing him from city committees and sending him a cease and desist letter. Councillors Dean and Johal-Watt opposed the motions. The mayor said the sanctions were temporary, pending the results of the city’s investigations. The Postmedia article quoted Councillor Narayan on the investigations into the councillors’ conduct, which he claimed were retribution for acting as whistleblowers.
