Speaking Before Council

If you would like to speak before Council at a Council Meeting, you can register to appear as a delegation. Please submit a Request for Delegation Form to the Clerk no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the Council Meeting you wish to appear at. 

If you do not provide sufficient information or refuse to disclose the reason for your delegation you will not be permitted to appear as a delegation. The request can be emailed or delivered in-person. If your request is received after the deadline, or if there are already four (4) delegations scheduled, your request will be placed on the next regular Council Agenda.

Delegations are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. The purpose of the delegation is to provide information to Council. Council may ask you questions but will not debate on your presentation and it may be referred to staff if additional reporting is required.  

You may view additional details about being a delegation in our Procedural By-Law.

If you would like to present an issue to Council but do not want to appear as a delegation, you can write a letter directed to Council and it may be considered as correspondence on a Council Agenda, or you can contact Councillors by email.
