Participate in a Council or Committee of the Whole meeting
To participate during the Public Input and/or Question Period portions of the agenda for a Council or Committee of the Whole meeting, you can:
- attend Council Chambers at Municipal Hall in-person and speak at the podium, or
- join the meeting electronically (see instructions below), or
- by telephone.
Public participation, whether electronic or in-person, is limited to public hearings, Council meetings, and Committee of the Whole meetings. Members of the public may observe a Committee meeting, however, unlike Council meetings, the public does not have an opportunity to provide their input or ask questions during a Committee meeting.
Learn more about how you can address Mayor and Council, and how to participate in meetings, provide input, and ask questions.
