- You'll be allowed 10 minutes for your presentation, after which the council or committee/commission may ask questions or make comments.
- If 2 or more delegations wish to address a similar topic, only 1 delegation may address in favour or against the subject.
- You will be heard in the order you submit your application to the clerk's office.
- Please note not all delegation requests will be approved. Your request may be directed to other committees or to staff. A member of the clerk’s office will contact you and provide further details including the meeting time and date.
