How to Address Council

Council Workshops

From time to time, Council may also hold Council Workshops. These are informal, public meetings designed to help Council learn about specific topics, explore ideas in more detail, and receive presentations or background information from staff or guest experts. Workshops are for discussion and education only and no decisions are made at these sessions.

Conflict of Interest Registry

The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act requires municipalities to maintain a public registry of all declarations of pecuniary interest made by members of Council. The original registry of forms submitted by Members of Council is available for public inspection by contacting the Clerks Department.
