Council Meetings

Council meets regularly to debate and decide on issues that concern you. As a resident, you can observe council meetings and give your input. These meetings also offer you a chance to hear all the arguments and understand the reason behind council's decisions.

Meetings are held at Burnaby City Hall twice a month on Monday evenings at 5 pm. During the year, two meetings will be held in the community. Please check the calendar to confirm date and location details.

You can present an issue to the council by being on the agenda, as an individual or a group. Inform Legislative Services by 12 pm on Wednesday before the meeting by completing our online request form, or submitting a letter, email or fax to the mayor and council.

• Council may hear 2 delegations per meeting at the start of the session. Once the 2 delegation limit is met, additional requests will be moved to the next available council meeting.
• You’ll be allowed 10 minutes for your presentation, after which the council may ask questions or make comments.
• If 2 or more delegations wish to address a similar topic, only 1 delegation may address the council either in favour or against the subject. You will be heard in the order you submit your application to Legislative Services.
• If there are many similar viewpoints, Legislative Services will contact the speakers to combine their presentations and pick one representative to appear before the council.
