From CTV February 23, 2026: Integrity Commissioner recommends Amherstburg committee member lose role over offensive language.

When asked about whether he would be in favour of removing the committee member, the deputy mayor said he would be open to what other councillors have to say.

“You’re dealing with incredibly misogynistic behavior. That language is targeted at women,” Gibb said.

As an appointed committee member, Gibb said there’s a “higher bar” set compared to the average resident. As part of a board appointed by council, members are bound by the town’s Code of Conduct.

“We did have to send the message that if you represent the municipality, there is a certain expectation in your behaviour,” Gibb said.

“When you see this behaviour, you have to say, this is not acceptable.”

I told Gibb that I felt his language was inappropriate during the October 10, 2023 council meeting.

the burg watch to Gibb: you were present at the county council meeting for the hiatus house presentation ‘shine the light on woman abuse’ awareness campaign. last night you thanked Ms. Prince and said, I know whenever you come here you probably leave with a few more bruises than you had before so I appreciate that. inappropriate and why would you appreciate that?

Listen to the audio of Gibb’s statement.

Gibb did not respond.
