Much of the Town Council’s work happens in committees. The main committee is the Committee of the Whole, made up only of councillors. Council also appoints residents and experts to Citizen Advisory Committees and to Municipal Corporations and Boards. These groups advise council and help it make informed decisions.
Citizen committees and boards
Citizen committees give advice and feedback to Town Council on topics such as heritage and culture, emergency management, downtown planning, and the environment. Boards make decisions on behalf of their organizations. Every advisory committee and board includes at least one Town Council representative.
