Niagara Regional Councillors have voted in favour of suspending Councillor Andy Petrowski from his appointed capactiy at any Regional Committees, Subcommittees, Agencies, Boards and Commission meetings.
The 24-3 vote asks that Petrowski undertake sensitivity training and upon completion be allowed to resume his appointed capacity.
Last week, Councillor Petrowski announced he would be taking a leave of absence from council following a shocking pornographic email that was circulated on his government issued email.
Regional Chair Alan Caslin confirmed he suspened the councillor's use of his email and government issued electronic devices.
The Region has not clearly stated whether Petrowski is receiving his councillor salary while he is on leave.
Councillors Bart Maves, Bob Gale and Dave Barrick were the three votes against the move.
