Council Meetings

Regular council meetings are posted annually, and agendas are made available prior to each meeting. The powers of the mayor and council are exercised through the adoption of resolutions or the enacting of bylaws at council meetings.

All regular council meetings are open to the public and no person is excluded, except in the case of improper conduct. Members of the public are welcome to attend the open meetings of council.

The rules governing the conduct of the meeting are outlined in the Council Procedures Bylaw and Robert's Rules of Order.
