Delegations – Appearing Before Mayor & Council

What is a delegation?

A delegation is the formal name for an individual or group who appear before Council (or an Advisory Group of Council) in order to:

• Make a presentation on a matter that is of broad interest and that falls within the jurisdiction of the City;
• Initiate interest and guidance to a solution for an item of public concern; or
• Bring Council up to date on a project, idea, or concept.

Council does not hear delegations regarding planning applications that have been held or will be held at a public hearing meeting. Please see the Public Hearing Brochure (pdf.) for more information.
