Councils

Both the District and Regional Councils have shifted from business as usual to emergency committees to streamline decision-making during the pandemic response.

All Council, and Community Board meetings, workshops as well as Ward Forums are suspended until further notice.

The Regional Council’s emergency committee has a membership of three councillors and a quorum of just two. Chair Doug Leeder says this allows for “swift decisions and delegated responsibility” in extraordinary times.

The Western Bay District emergency committee has four members to “quickly adapt to the rapidly-changing situation and provide a fast response,” says Mayor Garry Webber.
