Attend a meeting

Members of the public are welcome to attend the open portion of a Council meeting and sit in the gallery. Once the meeting moves into the closed confidential portion, everyone will be asked to step out. If you would like to speak with Council, learn more about how you can appear before Council as a Delegation.

Committee of the Whole

Included in the second meeting of each month is an information sharing session called the “Committee of the Whole”. The Committee of the Whole structure has been included in meetings to increase communication and information flows between Council, City staff and the public. During these sessions, there will be a short presentation from each department head highlighting their departments' activities from the previous month.  Councillors also use this session to report on their external committees and boards.

Correspondence

Anyone can write a letter to Council. Submit your letter to Council no later than the Monday before a Council Meeting at 12 PM noon.
