Council Committees/Task Force
The primary role of an Advisory Committee is to provide advice, recommendations and a community perspective on municipal initiatives and programs with the exception of the Board of Variance. The Board of Variance (under Board of Variance Bylaw #5914) operates independently of City Council and considers variances to the Zoning Bylaw on the grounds of hardship.
