The Municipality of Grey Highlands is committed to responding to service requests and formal complaints about municipal programs, services, facilities, staff, and operational procedures consistently, and by following a clearly defined process. This process is in place to facilitate the response to requests for service and/or complaints arising from current levels of service being offered by the Municipality. The form should not be used as a means to request that Council increase services or requests to provide additional services beyond what is offered.
What is a Complaint?
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction related to a Municipality of Grey Highlands program, facility, staff member, service, actions/non-actions or other matter arising where the citizen believes that the Municipality has not provided a service experience to their satisfaction. Formal complaints can be submitted using our online form.
Note: Complaints related specifically to by-law infractions for investigation by our by-law enforcement officers should not be submitted via the form. By-law enforcement complaints can be made by emailing enforcement@greyhighlands.ca.
What is a Service Request?
A service request is notifying the municipality of an issue or request whether it be a matter of maintenance, safety, or otherwise. We appreciate these types of submissions as we may not be aware of the issue and can address if faster. Examples of service requests could be a street light out, potholes, or missed garbage collection. You can submit a service request using our online form.
This form should only be used to request service within the current operations and should not be used to request additional services beyond the current service level being offered.
