Taxpayers Federation granted leave to intervene in court battle over size of Toronto city council
TORONTO, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has won the right to stand up for taxpayers in the court fight to reduce the size and cost of Toronto city hall.
The Ontario Superior Court granted the CTF leave to intervene and present arguments in Achampong v Ontario. In this case, Rocco Achampong, a candidate in the 2018 municipal election, is challenging The Better Local Government Act, which reduces the size of Toronto city council from a planned 47 wards to 25 wards.
