How to take part

The current PHO orders permit limited in-person public attendance at council or board meetings. As of September 28, the COVID Related Measures Act and Ministerial Order M192 both have expired, meaning we may no longer hold electronic-only meetings. Therefore, we are now welcoming the public to attend our meetings in person again. Council Chambers is open to four members of the public and media, as well as members of Council and essential staff, with the rest joining virtually. Everyone in Chambers is seated to ensure we are maintaining safe physical distancing.

We 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? The public is now permitted to attend our meetings in person. Please note that in-person public attendance is very limited. If you have a vested interest in a topic, please do come down and we will do our best to accommodate you; otherwise, we encourage you to participate by tuning in online until such time we can safely accommodate more people in person. 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.
