Council Meetings
Please note: For the health and safety of the public, staff and Council, the public is encouraged to watch the all Open Council and Special Council meetings via the live webcast. Archived videos of the meetings are available the following day. Members of the public who wish to attend Council meetings in person may do so, but the City will be enforcing physical distancing and group gathering limitations.
Open Council meetings are held Monday evenings two times a month at 5:00 PM in Council Chambers at Burnaby City Hall, with the exception of two public meetings that are held in the community. Council meetings are not held in weeks during which a statutory holiday occurs. View the schedule.
