How to take part

The PHO orders prohibiting the public from attending Council meetings in person have now been lifted. However, we are taking a gradual approach in our return to normal operations since our Council Chambers is quite small. Council is now permitted to attend meetings in person if they are comfortable doing so, but most staff will continue attending through Teams. For the time being, we will also continue to use Microsoft Teams to allow members of the public to take part in our meetings.

How can you participate in upcoming Council meetings, public hearings, and more? In addition to the usual ability to watch for observation only through Facebook or our website, you may join our Microsoft Teams call if you wish to address Council directly about an item on this evening’s agenda, just as if you were there in person. We encourage you to sign in to the meeting about 10 minutes early to ensure you are connected in time (you will need to download the Teams app if you are connecting on a smartphone). You do NOT need a Microsoft account to join as a guest. We have a page explaining how it works, including technical details that go over how to use Microsoft Teams.

We hope you’ll join in!
