Yes, you can attend a council meeting to discuss your concerns. Members of the public are welcome to observe formal committee meetings where business is discussed in public. However, if you want to speak directly to the councillors, you will typically need to submit a question in advance, as attendees cannot ask questions during the meeting unless they are part of a deputation.
Here’s a quick summary of the opportunities available to you:
| Activity | Details |
|---|---|
| Attend Meetings | Open to the public; you can listen to discussions. |
| Submit a Question | Questions can be submitted online and will be addressed at the meeting. Submit a question online. |
| Deputation | If representing a community group, you may request to speak, typically limited to one representative and 10 minutes. |
For more information on how to get involved, feel free to check out the details on the Attending Committee Meetings page.
