Statutory Committees and Boards

At the beginning of each term of Council, appointments are made to advisory committees or other bodies that Council is obliged by law to make. Council may also be advised to make appointments to ad hoc committees that Council considers desirable for the effective governance of the City where:

it is feasible to define a specific mandate and time-frame for the ad hoc committee to conduct its work
there is an absence of staff capacity or expertise on the subject, or there is a specific community of interest with a unique perspective on the proposed mandate
there is a need for information gathering and analyses to inform subsequent deliberations at a standing committee of Council.
