Section 5.9 currently reads as follows: 

“A Member of Council may participate electronically in a Meeting that is either open or closed to the public should they be unable to participate in person for medical reasons, illness, or in the event of a situation or pandemic in which physical distancing, limited gatherings or quarantine measures are required by local, provincial or federal public health agencies, and in doing so may be counted in determining whether or not a quorum of members is present at any point in time and shall have all the rights of any other Member who is participating in person.”

This section will be changed to: 

"A member of Council may participate electronically in a Meeting that is either open or closed to the public should they be unable to participate in person for medical reasons, illness, they are traveling, in the event of poor winter road conditions, or in the event of a situation or pandemic in which physical distancing, limited gatherings or quarantine measured are required by local, provincial or federal public health agencies, and in doing so may be counted towards quorum of members and shall have all the rights of any other Member who is participating in person."

With the addition of Section 5.91:

5.91: Notwithstanding Section 5.9, Members may participate electronically in no more than five meetings per calendar year.
