If you have written material that you wish to provide to Council prior to the meeting, please forward it to the Administration Department by noon on the Tuesday prior to your scheduled appearance. Council will then have sufficient time to review your material in advance of the meeting. Please note, that any material that you provide will be included in the respective public meeting agenda and made available to the public upon request.

Anyone who believes their interest is affected by the proposed bylaw(s) may submit input in writing and/or attend the public hearing to provide verbal input.
