Four residents of a rural Manitoba community have filed a court application challenging a municipal policy that prohibits the public from recording council meetings.
The issue began after a Springfield resident was told to stop recording a public meeting of the Rural Municipality Council (RM Council) of Springfield on Feb. 4. At the time, Mayor Patrick Therrien said only “media” were allowed to record and that all media must obtain approval from the council’s chief administrative officer 48 hours in advance.
