How council meetings run
Council follows a procedure by-law that sets the formal rules for how meetings are conducted, including presentations, delegations, rules of conduct, voting and minutes.
When attending in person:
- you may take photos or recordings if you don’t disrupt the meeting
- silence or turn off electronic devices
- don't bring banners or signs into Council Chambers
Learn more about how meetings are structured and how decisions are made on the How council meetings work page.

Anyone can speak to Council about an item on the public agenda – this is called being a delegation.
To speak, you must register in advance. Learn how to register, what to expect when speaking, and how to send written comments on the Register to speak at a council meeting page.
