Information Meeting of Council

Since 2011, it has been the practice of Council to hold monthly information sessions at 8:30 am. As recommended by Municipal Affairs, through the Municipal Accountability Program, any time Council gathers together is considered a formal meeting and needs to be recognized as such. The Council Procedural Bylaw states “Council Information Meetings shall be conducted for the purpose of information sharing and Council shall have no power at such meetings to pass any bylaw or resolution apart from the resolution necessary to approve the agenda for the Meeting, accept items for information, the resolution to move in/out of closed session, or a resolution to refer an item to a Regular Council Meeting.”
Because bylaws and new business are not passed or voted upon, agenda packages for these meeting are not uploaded to the website.
