COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Council looks into Civil Ceremony program

Norfolk County is looking into their civil ceremony program.

During the research, staff looked into how other municipalities across Ontario run their programs.

That was County Clerk Teresa Olsen.

Olsen said they also looked into private ceremonies being provided in the area.

The research began after discovering unconventional practices taking place.

Olsen recommended to continue the program the way it was originally intended to be.

Mayor Kristal Chopp suggested terminating the unconventional practices at the end of October to give the people providing the ceremonies time to get ordained.
