Council Agendas and Minutes

Council Meetings

Council meetings are open to the public. Meetings are normally held the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month. If a Statutory Holiday falls on a regularly scheduled Council meeting Monday, the Council meeting will be held on the Tuesday. Unscheduled Special Meetings are advertised in advance for public attendance. The meeting begins at 6:30pm in the Council Chambers, at 222 Diamond Place. Please use the library entrance to access the Council Chambers.

Please note unless you have requested to speak and are on the Agenda, guests are requested to observe only.

 

Speaking before Council 

Individuals or groups wishing to make a delegation directly to Council should contact the Town office in writing as well as verbally no later than 12:00 pm the Wednesday prior to Council’s regular meeting date to be included in the meeting agenda. ALL DELEGATIONS MUST COMPLETE THIS FORM WITH YOUR REQUEST. All submissions/delegations to Council must be received no later than 12:00pm the Wednesday before the meeting.

“Delegation” is the term used to define the process whereby an individual or group appears before Council in order to make a presentation, enter a request for action, update Council on activities, or to provide further information on an issue currently before Council for a decision.  The process is governed by the rules set out in the Council Procedure Bylaw.  The bylaw states that the CAO may refuse to place a delegation on the agenda if the issue is not considered to fall within the jurisdiction of Council or if the delegation has already addressed Council on the same topic in the past 12 months.  Further, Council must not permit a delegation to address a meeting of the Council regarding a bylaw in respect to which a public hearing has been held, or where the public hearing is required under an enactment as a prerequisite to the adoption of the bylaw.
