Ombudsman Advisor, Montréal Ombudsman
May 9, 2024
Deadline to apply: May 22,2024
The ombudsman intervenes upon complaint or on his own initiative. If he concludes that the citizen has suffered prejudice, he intervenes with the City to change the decision or correct the situation.
Essential to its credibility, the Ombudsman de Montréal is apolitical, confidential, autonomous and independent of the municipal administration and elected officials, conducting its own investigations and drawing its own conclusions on contested situations.
As an advisor, you carry out fact-finding missions to determine whether citizens are likely to be aggrieved, or are victims of an injustice or infringement of their municipal rights, including those set out in the Montréal Charter of Rights and Responsibilities. These investigative missions and interventions may occasionally concern a decision voted by elected municipal officials.
You intervene with the management concerned, and propose solutions or recommendations with a view to redress and prevention. If required, you will undertake mediation. More>>>
