Ordinary Council Meetings

Council meetings are forums where Councillors discuss issues and recommendations on a wide-range of issues that guide Council's actions. The meetings provide residents with an opportunity to ask questions of Councillors and to raise issues for Council to consider in its decision-making process.

Meetings are livestreamed and may be accessed from this website. Attendance at the meetings will be in line with the current COVID-19 health restrictions.
