Speak Before Council, Committee or Transit Executive Committee

All Standing Committee, Committee of the Whole, Transit Executive Committee and Council meetings will be held in a hybrid meeting format with electronic and in-person participation. Delegations may participate in the meeting remotely or in-person. Once you register, you will be provided with instructions.

Individuals may view the Council or Committee meeting via live streaming.

Individuals are also encouraged to speak with Regional staff or to submit written correspondence to Regional Council or a Committee if you have an idea or concern you want to share. Written correspondence can be submitted to the Legislative Services Division.

If you would like to register as a delegation please complete our delegation request form:

Note: Individuals must appear before the Committee responsible for the matter. Delegations will only be heard at Regional Council for matters that are put forward directly to Regional Council without first being considered by a Committee.

Submission Deadline:

If you miss the deadline and the subject matter you wish to speak to is included on the Committee agenda, you may be added to an addendum for the meeting if your request is received by 12 p.m. (noon the day before the meeting).

Please be advised that your name and address will become part of the public record and may be posted on the Region's website as part of the meeting minutes.

For more information about appearing as a delegation, view the Council Procedural By-law.
