Council Meeting Schedule

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

A “Committee of the Whole” is a meeting format where the Council discusses matters in a more informal and deliberative setting, rather than in their official legislative capacity. This format allows for more open debate and initial consideration of City business. While Council can make recommendations during these meetings, no formal decisions are made. Any recommendations resulting from a Committee of the Whole meeting are forwarded to a Regular Meeting of the Council for formal decision-making.

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. Unless the Monday is a holiday, then the deadline will be the Friday preceding the holiday. All letters to Council can be sent to our Agenda Email in the Administration Department.

Recordings

The majority of open Council meetings are recorded and available for viewing a few days after the meeting on the City of Dawson Creek YouTube page. Use the links below to easily find a recent meeting, or search our YouTube page for older recordings.
