Committee of the Whole provides the opportunity for all members of Council to participate in a less formal, discussion-oriented meeting. Generally, matters are discussed at the Committee of the Whole level first, then given final approval at future Regular Meetings of Council. Agendas are typically available for public viewing by end of day on the Friday prior to the meeting date. Once available, you'll be able to view the agenda on this page or by visiting the front desk at the Strathmore Municipal Building.
Attending a Meeting Hearing from the community is really important to us, so you're welcome at any Council or Committee of the Whole meeting. You do not need to call ahead or register to observe Strathmore Council in action. There is ample public seating and additional standing room if needed. You can also watch livestreamed meetings online as they happen, or catch up later on YouTube.
Coming and Going Meetings generally start at 6:00 P.M., they may begin with Closed Meeting agenda items before moving to a Public portion and last as long as necessary for Council to finish the business on the agenda. Members of the public may come and go as they please but are asked to do so quietly so as not to disturb the discussion.
Interested in presenting at a Committee of the Whole Meeting? Your Council actively encourages people to get involved. Have an idea you think Council should hear about? You’re welcome to form a delegation and speak at a Committee of the Whole, but you need to register as a delegation so we can save your place on the agenda. Interested delegations must submit a summary in writing briefing Council about what it is that you will be presenting. This must be submitted to the Manager of Legislative Services (Johnathan Strathdee, johnathan.strathdee@strathmore.ca) by noon the Wednesday before a Committee of the Whole Meeting.
