Making a delegation to a committee

As a part of the Municipality's mandate of open and accessible government, the Municipality of Brighton encourages public participation in its decision making process.

Participation includes the opportunity for interested parties to appear at meetings of the committees of the Municipality of Brighton Council to speak on matters of concern.

Well before the committee meets, contact the committee secretary of the committee you want to appear before. Tell the committee secretary that you want to make a delegation on a particular issue on the agenda.

These points will help you make your deputation.

  • Delegations are usually heard at the beginning of committee meetings.
  • Committees may decide to hear delegations at specific times during their meetings.
  • Each delegation is limited to approximately five minutes to give as many people as possible the opportunity to speak.
  • Members of the committee may ask you questions.
  • A written submission may be given to the committee secretary when you make your delegation, but it not necessary. Written comments may also be given or sent without speaking to the committee.
  • If an organization wishes to address a committee, one person should be chosen to represent the group
  • We will let you know when the committee makes a decision on the issue.

As a citizen, you have the right to express your opinions to your elected representatives. Your ideas could make a difference when council discusses an important issue.

We encourage you to participate!
