Advisory Committee Vacancies
Advisory Committees play a key role in local governance. Each committee focuses on a specific mandate, engaging in discussions, sharing information, and making recommendations to Town Council. Meetings are conducted in a formal setting, led by a chairperson and supported by Town staff, with all committees operating in accordance with the Municipal Government Act and Town Policy.
Committee members work on behalf of the community to review information, collaborate with fellow members, and build consensus to provide well-informed recommendations to Council. Members are regularly asked to review background materials ahead of meetings, including agendas, reports, documents, and correspondence that will be discussed.
Advisory Committees typically meet between four and twelve times per year, with each meeting lasting up to two hours. The commitment will be for either 2- or 3-year terms.
