Each year, Council appoints community members to sit on several Advisory Commissions.  The Commissions typically meet once a month, and their role is to offer advice to Council about matters that affect all of us.  Council needs your thoughts and your knowledge, so please consider applying to sit on a Commission.  You can get an application form at City Hall or the Frank Jameson Community Centre, or by downloading an Application for Appointment to Advisory Body.
