Council conducts the majority of its business at Regular Council meetings open to the public.
In-camera meetings are generally held after each Regular Council meeting. In-camera meetings are closed to the public and generally deal with property transactions, personnel matters and legal matters.
Amendments to the Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan are required to be considered at Public Hearings and scheduled as necessary, usually on Tuesday evenings.
Special Council meetings are occasionally scheduled as the need arises.
