Upcoming Bylaws
Procedural Bylaw -DRAFT
We are currently updating our Procedural Bylaw. Some of the amendments include encouraging in-person attendance to Council Meetings, but will continue to offer virtual access for those unable to attend. Another major change is the addition of a Committee of the Whole meeting. These meetings will take place the first Tuesday of every month following the Council meeting and will focus on updating our policies and bylaws. No motions may be made during this time. Should you wish to offer comment, please provide your comments by April 30th._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
