Committees and Council

People ask about the importance of the committees we have for Council, both at the Town and the Region. The committees provide valuable feedback to us and help us develop policy that we will use.
At this time of year, during the first part of each term, we advertise and interview people who have expressed interest.
All members of Council sit on a variety of committees. I serve on some locally, regioanlly, Provincially and with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, nationally.
Even people who have served a long time on the committees are brought in for the interviews. Returning members get the opportunity to meet other members of Council and can provide direct feedback to us.
The interviews may only be 15 to 20 minutes in length, but are important for us to learn about the reasons some wish to serve on the committees.
We could not develop policy or recieve feedback as quick as what we do without our committee members.
All of our volunteers deserve our thanks. Whether they assist at our facilities or serve on our committees. A well deserved big Thank you!
