By the sounds of it, a fair few of the councilors are rejecting the raise / wont accept it.

Soon after the meeting several councillors and the mayor said they would not be accepting the wage hike.

Blake, Stroud and Ault said after the meeting they would be rejecting their respective salary increases.

McGrath said that since his employer Aecon was continuing to pay his salary he would not be taking any municipal funds in addition to his pre-fire salary of about $36,000.

“I have a right as an employee to reject any increase,” he said. “I will not take an extra dollar to serve our citizens.”
