Committee Regulations

Committees are advisory in nature and function within the authority set out in their terms of reference or by bylaw. When citizen representatives are appointed, they serve in a voluntary capacity and bring local knowledge, expertise and experience to specific areas of civic concern.

Committee meetings are open to the public unless the topic relates to a subject included in Section 90 of the Community Charter. Minutes of each committee are approved by the chair and the committee and are forwarded to Council, usually in a meeting package, and are available to the general public upon request. The Community Charter and the Council Procedure Bylaw outlines rules of conduct for committee meetings.

Public Attendance at Committee Meetings

The public is welcome to attend open Committee Meetings of the various Advisory Bodies, including those at Committee, Board, and Task Force levels. If you are interested in observing the proceedings that help shape your community, please see the contact information located at the bottom of the Committee’s web page.

Please note that Committee Meetings are intended to inform and enlighten. Unless the advisory body is notified in advance and gives permission for you to speak at the proceedings, meetings are conducted in a non-debate format.

For more information on procedures and guidelines regarding public attendance at Committee Meetings, use the selected Committee’s contact information located at the bottom of the web page.
