Council Weekly Correspondence

Council's weekly information package is compiled by the City Clerk and circulated pursuant to section 10.6 of the City's Procedural By-law. No. 26-2021. Items may include internal informational communications in memo format, minutes from board and committee meetings, resident requests, and correspondence from external bodies including other municipalities and levels of government. Items contained in the package are for information only and do not require a decision from Council. If a Councillor prefers to have an item of correspondence dealt with by Council, they can do so by contacting the City Clerk to have it placed on the appropriate agenda. Council Weekly Correspondence Distributions (CWCD) can be viewed on the City's Council Committee Calendar.
