Template To Protect Elected Councillors and Democratic Debate

KICLEI has developed a new Template. This formal document gives constituents a peaceful, professional, and strategically grounded way to:

✅ Defend a councillor who is being unfairly targeted

✅ Put the council on notice of democratic overreach

✅ Assert the Charter-protected rights of free expression and representative responsibility

✅ Create a public record of civic dissent—without relying on media framing or institutional gatekeepers
