This C.E.D post provides an overview of grounds for removal. Interestingly, Ontario is one of the few jurisdictions where a criminal conviction alone is insufficient to remove a member of council or a mayor. However, being unable to vote in a municipal election disqualifies a person from holding office, and persons serving penal sentences are not permitted to vote in municipal elections. Therefore, a member of council or a mayor who is serving a penal sentence may be removed from office on the ground of being ineligible to vote in a municipal election.
