Every month there is one Council meeting and there are two Standing Committee meetings:
- the Planning and Development Committee
- the Executive Committee
Members of the public who wish to speak to a Standing Committee and/or Council are called delegations.
In order to appear before Council, delegations are encouraged to have first appeared before a Standing Committee.
Delegations can speak for up to ten minutes. Afterwards, councillors may ask questions.
If the matter is a statutory planning matter, no formal registration is required for the Planning & Development Committee.
Persons who wish to speak to an item that is on a Standing Committee meeting agenda should register in writing by 12 noon on the day of the meeting.
Persons who wish to speak to an item that is on the Council meeting agenda should register in writing by 12 noon on the day of the meeting.
Request for delegation status are to be sent to the Committee Coordinator at lroberts@pickering.ca or by fax at 905.420.9685 or by dropping off the request at City Hall.
