(Wingham, North Huorn, ON) Arrests have occurred at the last two council meetings in North Huron, despite a local local “news” blackout and Town Hall attempting to sanitize the records of their illegal/unconstitutional acts. They happened. Even the letter from the JCCF is omitted from the agenda package. CAO Nelson Santos is attempting a massive coverup, despite witnesses, videos, and a paper trail.
Next council meeting is 17Feb2026, 271 Frances St. Wingham, Ontairo.
Below is a letter sent to council regarding the minutes for the 02Feb2026 meeting. It will be interesting to see which councillors vote in favor of covering this up by voting to accept the minutes as-is. Or will council stand up for what is lawfull, and demand current CAO Nelson Santos maintain accurate records and end this coverup attempt?
Dear Reeve and Members of Council,
I am writing to formally object to the adoption of the February 2, 2026 Regular Council Meeting minutes as currently drafted.
The minutes omit several material events that occurred during the meeting and immediately thereafter. As a result, the record does not accurately reflect the proceedings.
Specifically, the minutes:
- Do not reflect that arrests occurred during the meeting.
- Do not note that members of the public were removed from the premises by police.
- Do not reference that recording devices were seized or removed.
- Do not reflect that the microphone/audio feed was muted during the initial portion of the live stream.
- Do not document the presence and active involvement of police in enforcing the procedural by-law.
- Do not reference the dispute regarding the scope and duration of the trespass order.
- Do not indicate that the OPP subsequently authorized Mr. Hill and Mr. Carther to re-enter the municipal building.
- Do not reflect that envelopes reportedly issued as part of the trespass process were not accepted by Mr. Hill, Mr. Carther, or the attending OPP officers.
- Do not accurately capture the sequence of events surrounding police direction and subsequent re-entry.
The current wording gives the impression that routine enforcement of procedural rules occurred. In reality, the meeting was materially interrupted by arrests, police involvement, contested trespass enforcement, and subsequent clarification by police permitting re-entry.
While minutes are not transcripts, they are required to reflect significant procedural events that alter the conduct and outcome of a meeting. Omitting these events results in a materially incomplete public record.
I respectfully request that the February 2, 2026 minutes be amended to accurately reflect these events prior to adoption.
Respectfully,
Buck
