 The Clerk's Department is a team led by the City Clerk, dedicated to providing a variety of services.  This Department could be described as the "glue" that binds the City together.  It is the principal administrative group within the Municipality and its roll is a critical one.   The primary role of the Clerk's Department is driven by provincial legislation, particularly the Municipal Act, the Municipal Elections Act, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Vital Statistics Act and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

The main functions performed by this Department include City Hall Reception, Printing Program, Corporate Messenger Program, Vital Statistics and Lottery Licensing and includes Commissioners of Oaths on hand to assist the public.  The Clerk's main office includes the City Clerk, Deputy Clerk, Administrative Clerical Support and clerical staff that help to deliver in the various programs.  This main office prepares Council Agendas, Minutes, By-laws, Resolutions and Legal Functions etc.  This Department is also the official archivist for the Municipality and preserves Council documents and all matters of public record.  As of February 11, 2005, the City Clerk and Deputy Clerk have been performing Civil Marriage Ceremonies.
