Affixing the Council Seal Policy

The Council seal is the signature of the Council. Affixing the seal demonstrates approval of the content of a document and shows what Council has done or agreed to do. Council’s seal can only be used following a resolution of Council.

However, not all documents created to implement decisions of Council require the affixing of a seal. This policy sets out the situations in which a seal is required, and how the seal is to be used.
