Community Engagement Pop-Ups

Next date: Wednesday, 07 August 2024 | 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM

Council is committed to engaging the community and stakeholders on decisions that affect them, and meeting people where they are to engage with a diversity of voices. Community pop-ups, where Council staff are stationed at various high-traffic locations across the Municipality during peak times, offer a casual setting for residents to chat with Council staff throughout the year.

These events are typically scheduled for the week following an Ordinary Council meeting, which occurs on the third Tuesday of the month. This timing allows community members to provide input on plans, policies, and strategies that have been placed on public exhibition or opened for consultation. This schedule will be complemented by online engagement opportunities and targeted stakeholder-holder engagement activities, such as workshops, focus groups and meetings with committees and community groups.
