How To Get Involved


As a part of being an open and accessible government, the City of Brampton encourages public participation in its decision-making process.

As a resident or local business owner, you have the right to express your opinions to your elected representatives about local government responsibilities. Your ideas could make a difference when Council discusses an important issue.

  

There are various ways you can provide your comments and follow Council's deliberations about city matters.    

You may choose to:

 

CITIZEN APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES OF COUNCIL

Throughout the four-year term of Council, the City of Brampton seeks applications from citizens interested in being appointed to
various citizen advisory committees, concurrent with the term of Council, ending November 30, 2014 or until a successor is appointed.

 

There are currently no vacancies in these committees.  Please watch this webpage and the CityPage ads in the Brampton Guardian every Thursday.                  

 
Qualifications:
Applicants must be qualified electors in the City of Brampton, i.e., a resident of the City of Brampton, a Canadian citizen and 18 years
of age or older.
 
 
Note: Application forms are also available from the Clerk’s Office, City Hall or by mail.  Alternate formats are available upon request.
  
For more information, please contact the City Clerk's Office at (905) 874-2115 or earl.evans@brampton.ca
Fax: (905) 874-2119
 
 
  
 

 Attend Council or other public meetings

 
expandWhen is the next Council meeting?
Council generally meets every second Wednesday.   Check the list of Council and committee meeting dates.
 
expandWhat topics will be discussed by Council?
The topics discussed will relate to local government responsibilities.  
Agendas are generally published on Friday afternoon, the week before a meeting.  You will find the agenda for a specific meeting in the calendar entry or list of meetings. The items to be discussed will be listed, with links to related staff reports and recommendations to Council. 
 
expandDo I have to register in order to attend a meeting?
Council and its committees are open to the public.  If you attend a statutory public meeting on a Planning matter, you will be asked to provide contact information for follow-up.
expandIf I am unable to attend, how will I know what took place at a meeting?
You can watch Council meetings on Rogers TV (Cable 10) or Rogers Video - or you can read the minutes of all meetings online after they are approved by Council. 
 

 Speak at a committee meeting

 
expandHow do I get an opportunity to speak to Council?
To request permission to speak at a meeting, submit a delegation form to the Clerk’s Office.  You will be contacted about scheduling.  
 
The general process is as follows:
  • The City Clerk will arrange for you to speak at a Committee of Council meeting.   At these committee meetings, Council hears from the public, asks questions, receives advice from staff and experts, discusses issues, and develops recommendations for approval at a regular Council meeting.   (Click here for information about Council and its committees.)  
  • At regular Council meetings, recommendations from the committees will be received and discussed. Council does not usually hear delegations directly.
expandWhat is the deadline for being placed on an agenda?

To speak about an item that is already on a published agenda…

  • Your request will be accepted after the agenda is published.
  • Please contact the City Clerk's Office, preferably in writing, with your request to speak.  City Clerk's Office staff will maintain a list of requested delegations (in the order of receipt) and provide the list to the Mayor or Chair prior to or at the start of the meeting. 

To speak about a topic that is not on a future meeting’s agenda …

  • Written notice is required by Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m., the week prior to the meeting.   Please use the delegation form to provide the required information to the Clerk’s Office.
  • The Clerk's Office will contact you after the agenda published.
