Make a presentation to 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. |
Request to speak |
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 complete the Request to Speak Form. You may also register by:
Please note that speakers are allotted a maximum of five minutes in duration. |
Public Hearings |
Public Hearings are an opportunity for people who may be affected by bylaws, projects or proposals to address Council. Public hearings are required by the Municipal Government Act as part of the adoption or amendment process for statutory plans such as Area Structure Plans, the Land Use Bylaw, and other types of bylaws. The public and other stakeholders can participate in the Public Hearing process by appearing in-person before Council during the Public Hearing or by making a written submission on the subject matter for Council’s consideration at the Public Hearing. Written submissions and requests to appear in person must be received by 12 noon on the Wednesday before the Public Hearing. It is Council’s discretion to accept submissions or requests to appear in person from those who have not submitted a request prior to the deadline. All submissions to a Public Hearing must be received prior to the close of that Public Hearing. Any submission received after the Public Hearing has closed cannot be considered by Council, so it is important that concerned parties participate in the Public Hearing. Those who wish to speak during the Public Hearing will have a maximum of 5 minutes to address Council. All written submissions are public documents and any information and materials you submit to Council for their consideration at the Public Hearing is added in its entirety to the agenda package, which is made public and posted to the Municipality’s website. Submissions that are not relevant to the Public Hearing will not become part of the record of the hearing. To register to appear in person or submit written comments for a Public Hearing before the deadline:
