What does Town Council do?
Town Council operates in accordance with several provincial statutes, the main ones being The Municipalities Act and The Planning and Development Act. Town Council has only those powers which the Provincial Government has expressly given to it by statute. Town Council cannot make any decisions, or take any action, other than during an official meeting of Town Council.

How can I get an item of concern before Town Council or a Committee?
