Council

Citizens' involvement in civic government is an essential part of the democratic process and there are many ways in which you can voice your concerns and become involved.

Individuals or groups wanting to be placed on the agenda at a Council meeting must submit either a letter of request clearly outlining the subject matter to be discussed and the action being requested of Council, or a Presentation Request Form.

The request is then reviewed by the Agenda Review Committee (comprised of the Mayor, Regional Manager and Chief Legislative Officer). It may be placed on a future Council Agenda, referred to a standing committee, referred to administration for investigation and preparation of a report, or declined.

Requests to speak must be in reference to a specific item on a Council meeting agenda.

Agendas for Council meetings are published on the Friday of the week before the meeting. To register to speak as a delegate to an item on a Council Agenda, please send an email to Legislative.Assistants@rmwb.ca. 

Request to Speak emails must include the following:

• meeting date you would like to speak at
